2020 Vision The Future of the Built Environment

21- 22 June 2018, Business Design Centre London
Now in its fourth year, vision has become an essential resource for thousands of architects, technologists, designers, developers, specifiers and their clients.
Celebrating design, specification and product innovation in creating smarter buildings and better places, Vision’ s aim is to always push forward to future-proof design in construction. The show provides an international focus for innovative products and building solutions, bringing together some of the best designs and leading figures from across Western Europe for two days of business, learning and networking.
Some of the 2018 highlights will include; over 100 major brands and innovative start-ups, hundreds of cutting-edge products and building solutions, including research and development into the latest software and over 100 hours of free seminars providing a unique industry insight across four theatres.
Vision is also focusing on international conversations, an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with continental counterparts, presented through a collection of pavilions from Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Latvia.
Ambitious plans are in place to grow the exhibition and extend Vision’ s Educational Programme, whose supporters include the RIBA, CIAT, BRE, New London Architecture & the London Festival of Architecture. Vision will play host to over 100 international industry experts to deliver another highly acclaimed seminar programme.
With four content-packed seminar theatres over two days, we’ ll be asking big questions of big names in architecture, engineering, and urban development, across three big themes:
1. Added Value With urbanism, infrastructure and Architecture being fundamental to the economic success of cities, neighbourhoods, institutions, companies and brands, how can we quantify and maximize the impact of high-quality design on society, economic sustainability and
