5-7 MARCH 2024. EXCEL, LONDON

Futurebuild, the built environment’s most influential event for innovation and collaboration is back for its 18th year, at London’s ExCeL from 5-7 March 2024. The event, which is set to be the most impactful yet, will bring together more than 20,000 professionals including architects, planners, urban designers and housebuilders. It will continue its mission in taking a stand for a better built environment, showcasing groundbreaking ideas, creative and inspirational innovations, and crucial collaboration to help us set the stage for a greener, more resilient future. 

Martin Hurn, event director at Futurebuild emphasises the event’s objective of creating real, lasting and tangible change within the housebuilding sector: “Futurebuild is more than an event; it’s a catalyst for action. It’s a platform for engagement, debate, and education where industry leaders and professionals passionate about improving the built environment unite to shape a future that demands significant change and real courage.”
