Ecobuild 2016, the UK’s largest show dedicated to construction and energy, starts today at ExCel London.

Over the next three days it will provide visitors with access to invaluable industry insights and projections relating to all aspects of the construction sector through a mix of a high-level conference, CPD-accredited learning hubs and more than 800 exhibitors showcasing a wide range of new products, materials, solutions and services.

TSP Media will be on stand E3152 for the next three days at the event, which attracts more than 40,000 industry professionals from across the whole supply chain each year.

Ecobuild is the leading exhibition and conference for the UK construction and energy market. It attracts a broad range of visitors from architects to specifi ers, housebuilders to contractors. The 2016 event will see an evolved proposition for the event to focus on areas of industry growth and market priorities such as housing, infrastructure, next generation innovation, technology and people.

Ecobuild’s essential educational offering Ecobuild 2016 will feature six CPDaccredited learning hubs; Building Performance, Design, Energy, #BuildCircular, Infrastructure Revolution and Digital Building. A highly-provoking seminar programme, it will provide visitors and exhibitors with the knowhow to do their jobs better and the business case to help them make more informed decisions to address these challenges.

The programme will be delivered by industry leading fi gures and organisations including Architype, Glenn Howells Architects, Marks & Spencer, British Land, Jones Lang LaSalle, BRE, ICE, Zero Carbon Hub and Willmott Dixon Energy Services.

Dedicated days to Homes, Architecture and Next Generation Ecobuild 2016’s high-level conference is split into three daily streams. The fi rst day’s stream of Homes explores the most pressing, divisive and important decisions that the industry must take to deliver comfortable, sustainable, resilient places and homes. What do new-build and retrofi tted homes and communities need to deliver, and at what cost?

The second day focuses on Architecture and looks at the changing role of the architect, the importance of architecture across the
built environment, the need for change and some of the most interesting and inspiring architectural projects.

The Next Generation day looks to the future: how smart technology, changing demographics and wellness will drive design and construction in the future as well as how to address the skills gap and attract young talent to the industry. Ecobuild’s most exploratory, provocative and inspiring day – it is a must for all those with an interest in ‘what’s next’.

Reflecting the construction industry, Ecobuild is constantly evolving; ensuring that it continues to provide relevant, dynamic content and create opportunities to make new connections.

Visitors will find a wealth of specialist support and solutions – and much more besides – at Ecobuild 2016.

Ecobuild 2016 is co-located with Resource, the leading resource efficiency event, from March 8-10 at London’s ExCeL.
