Dear Industry Colleague,

I am delighted to announce some

exciting new changes we have made

to our conference this year, resulting

in the launch of the Sustainable

Design & Construction Conference.

Following increased demand from

the market and with input from our

Advisory Panel, we have developed

an agenda specifically with the

design community in mind, whilst

maximising value for our

construction, consulting and

engineering colleagues.

This year’s conference will provide a

world-class platform welcoming over

35 speakers and 700 delegates from

around the world, addressing key

issues such as effective

masterplanning, sustainability, new

technologies and low energy emitting

materials, building regulations,

achieving LEED status, façade design,

fire safety and much more.

We hope that you can join us and I look

forward to meeting you in November.
