a PROGRAMME With IMPACT

The Futurebuild 2025 Knowledge Programme offers CPD-accredited sessions designed to provide the latest insights and practical solutions you need to excel in the built environment. With case studies, real-world examples, and actionable knowledge, this programme helps you drive impactful change while earning valuable CPD credits.

THE FUTUREBUILD ARENA

At the Futurebuild Arena, you’ll explore how we can drive real impact across both the built and natural environments. Each session will focus on what must happen over the next 12 months, by 2030, and by 2035 to create a sustainable, thriving economy that works within planetary boundaries, promotes social justice, and delivers tangible results.

The three overarching themes are:

Everything is Circular
Sustainability, Social Justice, Fairness, and Equity
Making it Work

This is your opportunity to be part of the solutions shaping the future—there’s no time for delay, only action.

Receive quality leads

Exhibitors see Futurebuild as the ultimate platform to position themselves as sustainability champions, raise brand awareness, and cultivate valuable relationships.

Having received an average of 205 leads per exhibitor in 2024, it is no surprise that hundreds of solutions suppliers have already rebooked for Futurebuild 2025.

As well as delivering leads, we’re delivering impact, and that is through quality. Futurebuild attracts the most influential professionals from right across the built environment. As a result, the leads you acquire will be relevant, engaged, and genuinely interested in the products or services you offer. This quality of leads is what sets Futurebuild apart from other events.

Material choice is vital for a circular economy, cutting carbon and boosting sustainability.

Gain insights to enhance your projects and foster vibrant, sustainable communities.

New for Futurebuild 2025, the FutureX Digital Disruptors programme will showcase how construction technology can be used with purpose to create real impact. It’s not just about the latest tools—it’s about how technology can drive positive change for both society and the environment.

Hear from our community on how Futurebuild is making a positive impact.

I have come to Futurebuild to gain an insight on the latest information and how companies are working on their digital innovation for future developments. I’ve joined a digital seminar and it was really fruitful and insightful. I really like how the show was planned out and the stands are fascinating.

I’m an architect and it’s my first time at futurebuild. We recently started a new project so I’m here to look for new ideas and also see what’s going on in the industry. I’ve really enjoyed all the seminars and conferences I’ve attended so far, really knowledgeable and covering about net zero. Overall a good event.

Show seems to be very good. Seems to be what we want good diverse range of exhibitors. Have been visiting every year since last 5 years. Trend that have the most impact is Quality assurance and policy certification.

I come to the show every year I've been coming since the days of ecobuild. I work in sustainability on the renewable sky working mainly on solar. So I catch up with a lot of my London based customers here, It’s an interesting event for for sustainability professionals. So more or less glad to come.

So I came here today because I was speaker but at the same time I've been here four times already. What amazed me the most is that I can see the show growing and growing and kind of the good advancements that we are doing in sustainability and how that interacts with digitalisation and innovation is mind blowing, and it's a show that I recommend to anyone that is in the industry.

I’ve always come for the last 10 years because everyone I know is here and what I do is introduce people I know to each other, sort of like a wing man in a professional setting. The great thing about the sessions are the skills talk cos so much of it in this industry has to do with collaboration.

I visit Futurebuild because usually I am on a stand, so I am working on the show. It’s a great place to meet new ppl and catch up with exiting clients. The highlight for today was meeting the world’s nominated female best builder, Barbara Jones. So she’s been nominated by the CIOB and she’s an amazing force of nature. I suppose the biggest impact is the concept of net zero but no one really knows what it is as for different ppl it means different things. But there is the net zero carbon standard coming out so hopefully it will mean the same thing for everyone.
