Futurebuild 2023

Futurebuild 2023 will take place from 7-9 March 2023 at ExCeL London

Futurebuild offers a platform for ideas, solutions and knowledge sharing intended to drive sustainable construction and reach the net zero goal.
    
Futurebuild’s mission: “Futurebuild is about building a better future for the built environment.
    
“As the industry’s premier event, we provide the stage for inspiring ideas, innovative solutions and knowledge sharing to drive sustainable construction and help us reach our goal of net zero.
    
“The exhibition brings together the entire supply chain to showcase, debate and understand the advancements in sustainable construction and the emerging technologies that will make net zero possible. Futurebuild is about driving positive change.”

Innovation and sustainability
Futurebuild boasts innovation, showcasing the best products and materials and supporting innovation to help create net zero buildings, more quickly, more safely and more efficiently.
    
Futurebuild will also be championing sustainability, being committed to ensuring that the built environment is on track to achieving net zero goals and having been driving the sustainability for more than 16 years.
    
Futurebuild also aims to enable collaboration, bringing the entire supply chain together to generate positive change, including architects, housebuilders, developers, consultants, contractors and manufacturers.

Values
The show highlights three values: content; influential; and walk the talk.
    
In practice, content means delivering a carefully curated and expertly delivered speaker programme, with over 300 speakers across ten stages. Futurebuild claims to be the influential leader in terms of built environment trade events, boasting “a stellar line-up of distinguished speakers, the best in class exhibitors and senior decision makers”. Finally, Futurebuild “walks the talk” by leading by example when it comes to net zero. With its roots in sustainability, Futurebuild has the ability to influence and guide the industry on the road to net zero.

Exhibitors and conference programme
Futurebuild features more than 200 exhibitors showcasing their ideas, products and services. View the list of exhibitors here.
    
The 2023 Conference programme focuses on “taking a stand”. This means looking forward, making a change and taking action, with each day focussing on each of these actions.
Futurebuild says: “What will you take a stand for? “We’re taking a stand for a better built environment and are urging companies and professionals throughout the industry to make a similar commitment by ‘taking a stand’ on an issue they passionately believe will help propel the industry towards a more sustainable future.”
    
There will be seminars on wellbeing, biophilic design, healthy buildings, modular efficiency, creative placemaking and reliability. Other topics include high-quality insulation, building services, biodiversity, Passivhaus and regulations and standards.
    
The spotlight areas this year will be lighting, innovation zone and district energy.
    
Day 1 of the conference programme will be about looking forward to develop the necessary foresight to break out of our current mindset.
    
Day 2 will focus on making a change, in particular, behaviour change. Questions will be posed such as ‘what does the necessary transition involve? and ‘how can we bring others along with us?’
    
The final day will cover taking action and will feature speakers who have already taken action, as well as explore plans that can move the construction industry forward.
