Shaping tomorrow: The future of the built environment and our part to play

Join us for a conversation with industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries who come together to explore the transformative trends and technologies shaping the future of our built environment. This event promises to be a platform for dynamic discussions, inspiring speakers, and valuable networking opportunities. 

After 10 years of BE-ST supporting the built environment, we know that if we want to achieve our goal of transforming the sector we need to look forward to the future of the built environment, envision what we want it to look like, and then work backwards to make this happen. This event will emphasise the importance of our collective efforts in driving innovation, promoting sustainability, and enabling a skills pathway. Together, we can shape a future where our built environment not only meets the needs of today but also anticipates the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
