CONNECT TO CHANGE

Futurebuild unites the entire built environment industry – our mission is to cultivate cross sector collaboration to inspire the transformational change needed to propel the construction industry to net-zero.

If there is one message that is coming loud and clear from the global climate emergency, it is that we cannot go on as we are. The industry has to make changes. We need to radically change the ways in which we plan, design, construct and operate our buildings and places.

Specifiers are at the heart of driving innovative change and Futurebuild’s audience of mobilisers and influencers have the power to make a difference – they visit to specify and really make a change to your business.

Who visits

Futurebuild delivers an audience of over 15,000 mobilisers and influencers with the power to make a difference.

Futurebuild is a show which we consider as the Oscars of the built environment. Everyone comes to this show including people from other countries. It’s a show we should all be at and that is why we are here.

It’s a very well-attended event, and gives us an opportunity and platform to showcase our product range and talk about it on mass and tell people the benefits of Hadley.

You’ve got good representation from construction clients, contractors, sub contractors and the manufacturing side. It’s rare for us to really be able to get a chance to talk to people from throughout the entire tier levels of the supply chain, so really valuable for us.

As the Climate Emergency closes in with COP26 aound the corner, Futurebuild was a great place to meet and debate policy and practice.

Futurebuild delivers on industry leading innovation and ideas. The event has firmly established itself as a must attend event for those involved with the built environment.

I really liked this Futurebuild event, it was my first time visiting it and I found it hugely innovative especially in sustainability, so many suppliers, stands, demonstrations. Looking forward to being back next year.

I really rate Futurebuild as a space to see innovation and talk to the innovators, who are proud of their products and rightly so. It's constantly surprising and rewarding, and very helpful for us. Futurebuild is now a fixture in our diary, we wouldn't miss it

Futurebuild brings the most important people in the industry together around the things that really matter to them. This is achieved through the agenda setting conference and industry leading keynote stages.

This world class knowledge programme, alongside the exhibition of innovative and inspiring brands, combine to create an unmissable experience.

FUTUREBUILD 2023 highlights

It’s been an extremely well attended show and the second day was extremely busy. It’s been great to get back to the event and meet with our customers and clients to show them about what’s happening in the future for us. There’s been a good customer mix to the stand and we’ve also seen end-users interested in the technology that’s started conversations and given them a vision for the future.

We’ve had a lot of interest in the stand, both with businesses and private individuals. In general, it’s been a very positive show and we already booked for next year while at the show.

We’ve had a lot of very focused conversations at Futurebuild, which is fantastic to see at a show that promotes net zero and champions everything about sustainability. We’ve seen a mix of people to come to the stand, including students, which has been heart-warming for the industry. We also work principally with large asset owners, so we’ve had great conversations with teams in this area.

We came to Futurebuild for a number of reasons. One is collaboration — we’ve been out for two years because of the pandemic so we’ve got a chance to see people face to face and see how passionate they are about certain topics in the industry.

Futurebuild has a really interesting mix of innovators and very traditional building materials companies, so it’s a really good show for us as a data analytics expert in the industry. Aico is traditionally known as a fire alarm sensor manufacturer, so we’ve come to the show to raise awareness that we do operate in this area and we are using sensors to collect data about the environment, such as how heating systems work.

Futurebuild has been great. We’ve found that the exhibits have drawn relevant high-quality visitors to the stand who had some really great questions. This is when we have to take action. It’s important for us to show what’s happening right now and what the industry is working on that lets us deliver net zero and decarbonised concrete.

The show has been very good and busy, and we’ve met different profiles of people each day — for example on day two we met a lot of installers who are involved in the trade. We have a spread of technologies on the stand, which have all been busy, so we’ve been able to talk across a range of topics, such as batteries, PV and heat pumps. It’s a nice statement of people’s journeys towards net zero.

After two years of us being away, it’s been a fantastic event. Our company is just moving to the UK, so we’ve made a large impact with hundreds of leads and dozens of connections. If you’re a company in the UK and are the cutting edge of the green tech revolution, you really need to be at Futurebuild 2023.

It’s our first time at Futurebuild and it’s been absolutely fantastic — we haven’t stopped. We’re a new company and it was our first exhibit, so it’s been great to meet people from every side. Every day has been different and we’ve had a lot of conversations, for example with architects on classification and regulation, as well as hemp farmers visiting to find out more about sustainability. The event shows that change can happen.

Futurebuild has been really busy, and we’ve had a constant flow of really good enquiries on the stand — we’ve already booked for next year. We’ve had a wide range of visitors, including cladding installers, architects, lecturers, developers who build traditionally who are now looking at building in different ways.

The buzz and the footfall here is really good. We’ve had a lot of positive conversations as a lot of attendees are early on in the design stage so want to get information from us.
