International Summit: Exploring The Future of Construction

As BUILDOFFSITE (BOS) celebrates its 20th anniversary, we are excited to co-host the International Summit, on 17th September and 18th September 2024. This prestigious event is a platform for international collaboration and knowledge exchange within the offsite construction industry. The Summit features free-to-attend seminars, panel discussions and Q&A sessions, chaired by some of the most renowned global players in offsite construction. Sharing insiders’ information about the latest technical innovations, comparing international policies and promoting transparency and co-operation, the Summit will influence our thinking about the future of construction.

 

A key highlight of the Summit is the BOS International Innovation Hub Challenge. Competitors will present their breakthrough ideas in sustainable construction, each given 10 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes to answer rapid-fire questions from the judges. Information on how to enter for free can be found here.
