SPOTLIGHT ON INDUSTRY GROWTH
AND MARKET PRIORITIES AT
2016
Ecobuild returns in March with an
increased and in-depth focus on the
latest industry trends, challenges and
opportunities – and how professionals
from across the whole supply chain can
capitalise on them.
The UK’s largest show dedicated to
const ruction and energy will provide
visitors with access to invaluable industry
insights and projections relating to all
aspects of the construction sector through
a mix of a high-level conference, CPDaccredited learning hubs and more than
800 exhibitors showcasing a wide range
of new products, materials, solutions and
services.
Attracting more than 40,000 industry
professionals from across the whole
supply chain each year, Ecobuild is the
leading exhibition and conference for
the UK construction and energy market.
It attracts a broad range of visitors from
architects to manufacturers, suppliers to
installers.
In 2015, 96% of the top 25 architectural
practices featured on the AJ 120 List and
84% of the leading housebuilders and
contractors attended the show. The 2016
event will see an evolved proposition for
the event to focus on areas of industry
growth and market priorities such as
housing, infrastructure, next generation
innovation, technology and people.
Dedicated days to Homes,
Architecture and Next Generation
Ecobuild 2016’s high-level conference
is split into three daily streams. The first
day’s stream of Homes explores the
most pressing, divisive and important
decisions that the industry must take to
deliver comfortable, sustainable, resilient
places and homes. What do new-build and
retrofitted homes and communities need
to deliver, and at what cost?
Chaired by broadcaster Cathy Newman,
