FUTUREBUILD 2020: BE THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE FUTUREBUILD 2020 Recent climate change demonstrations and government declarations make one thing clear, we need to come together to take action against the climate change challenges we are facing. Against this backdrop, Futurebuild 2020, held from 03-05 March at ExCeL London will inspire industry professionals to come together, be the catalyst for change that’s needed and deliver a more sustainable built environment. SETTING THE AGENDA The industry-leading conference programme returns for 2020, with the climate and ecological crisis leading conversations. Unmissable sessions in the Arena will include ‘Professional Collaboration: Do it together’ developed in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT). This session on day three (05 March) will bring the presidents of the institute together to discuss how those working in the built and natural environment are currently responding to the climate and ecological emergency, and ongoing plans for the future.
