Building technology, design and materials for a sustainable future
We’re excited to announce our biggest event yet, a summit on what the buildings of the future will look like – their shape, feel and composition. What will owners and investors be searching for today as they plan their next $1billion development for tomorrow?
We already have a brave new reality fast tracking to our doorstep: robotics in construction, 3D printing, cyborg technology, driverless cars, and multiple sensors that watch over all we do. Materials and products are being invented and re-invented. What’s their true life cycle profile and what are the supply chain implications?
Audiences will discover
- New materials and old, re-imagined. Smart glass, carbon fibre composites, steel, timber, engineered timber, concrete, hemp, paints and coatings, floor coverings
- The latest technologies and building methods – robotics, 3D printing, augmented reality, prefab, engineered timbers, buildings as power stations, membranes and self cleaning facades, panellised construction
- Why the supply chain is the new black – where has that material come from and who made it
- Will your customers be happy or will your asset end up on the front page of the tabloids for having shonky materials?
- The truth about carbon and lifecycle analysis of major materials
Learn
- Critical business intelligence on global trends and market drivers that will power your business
- What’s on the inside counts – the world of interiors and why they need to be healthy and fabulous
- A crash course in how to form alliances and partnerships with clients and peers
Use
- Practical information to make your sustainable business decisions a success
- New knowledge and information to share with your peers and customers
- Networking opportunities to build business benefits and fast-track sustainability
The Program
Key modules during the day will be shaped alongside collaboration with key sponsors. The draft program is:
- Market Pulse. Howard will lead with a vibrant look at the major trends and business opportunities in new building materials, building technologies and interiors. He will share what you need to know about demand drivers in the near to mid term so you can stay ahead of the game and not be caught out by rapid change.
- Sci-fi has arrived. And it’s in our building. What does it look like? Does it speak? Read our thoughts? Is it embedded in the walls and ceiling? And does the boss hold the key card? Can we really print green concrete and furniture? What’s that robot doing with my lunch?
- The future of new and old materials. What’s coming, what’s been and coming back? Timber, steel, concrete, hemp, composite carbons, building wraps and membranes, smart glass, facades that make this building a power station. And cool.
- Supply chain. Where did you get that and how was it made? No one wants stranded assets. Our summit will shake out the key issues so that you can concentrate on what’s relevant for your business, what’s likely and what’s not. What’s the truth about carbon and LCA?
- Interiors. The outside is in. Healthy, edgy, biophilia is keeping us sane and healthy. Bring it on. Not everyone can work in a converted warehouse so what’s next in cool offices?
- A crash course on how to speed date a client, or set up some seriously productive alliances and partnerships with your clients, peers or even competitors... why not?
- Develop a policy for buildings and building materials of the future. Deliver this to government and industry. Publish.
