Futurebuild will continue to lead the conversation on net zero, sustainability and retrofit, including the National Retrofit Conference, alongside a broader showcase of construction innovation across the full supply chain.
The renowned Futurebuild Knowledge Programme sits at the heart of the event, centred on three critical themes:
- Resilience
- Reuse
- Regenerative design
Across two main conference arenas and multiple seminar stages, sessions are curated by over 90 industry partners and associations, delivering practical insight that helps organisations turn sustainability ambition into measurable impact.
Futurebuild is designed for anyone shaping the future of the built environment, including:
- Architects, designers and specifiers
- Contractors and developers
- Manufacturers and solution providers
