A Knowledge Programme to drive change
The Futurebuild 2026 Knowledge Programme features two flagship conference arenas and multiple CPD-accredited seminar stages, delivering the insight and collaboration needed to drive a net-zero built environment.
At its core, the Futurebuild Arena, sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric, explores the industry’s most urgent challenges, with a focus on resilience, reuse and regenerative design, turning ambition into real-world impact.
The National Retrofit Conference is the UK’s leading forum for building decarbonisation, offering expert insight, policy updates and practical case studies to accelerate large-scale retrofit.
Curated seminar stages provide CPD-accredited learning and real-world case studies across sustainable design, innovation and performance.
With 250 hours of CPD content, the programme centres on Resilience, Reuse and Regenerative Design, showing how innovation drives action.

Futurebuild, with the NHDG and Innovate UK, is back to accelerate home and building decarbonisation. Innovators developing retrofit, digital, or AI solutions can pitch live at the National Retrofit Conference and connect with industry leaders.
This initiative is designed to unearth pioneering solutions for decarbonisation and healthy living spaces, offering innovators a platform to showcase products, processes, systems, and new approaches that support healthy homes in the UK’s built environment.

Attending Futurebuild has kept me busy! I gathered some solid leads and valuable data, but what truly made the experience exceptional were the engaging conversations I had with various professionals. The insights and connections I gained were invaluable, making the event a great success for me.

Futurebuild has proved very beneficial for our company, particularly the Retrofit section which is only getting bigger and bigger. We have already booked for next year as Futurebuild is growing!

We are a small company trying to gain more visibility, and this is definitely the way to do it. Yesterday, we had some top-quality conversations with people who were not aware of what we could offer them, which provided great exposure for us. We are glad we decided to exhibit.

We are launching in a couple of months, so we came to Futurebuild to gain traction. The audience has been incredible; I've heard that it's better than last year and of higher quality. We are also getting lots of leads, which is great. Connecting with people from different businesses within the built environment industry is valuable, and it’s also a good way to see what others are doing.
