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.

Futurebuild brings together a wide range of industries, giving us exposure that we don't get on a day-to-day basis. It's great to see the number of people interested in our stand and products, and the amount of leads we've gathered is truly amazing.

Events like Futurebuild are essential because collaboration is absolutely the key to success.

We came here to showcase our products and create awareness, and we’ve certainly achieved that. It’s quite a diverse audience; you get to meet contractors, architects, designers, and specifiers, which gives us an opportunity to educate people on our message.

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.
