After celebrating its 10th anniversary last year, UK Construction Week London will come together with Futurebuild from 12–14 May at Excel London, creating the UK’s largest event uniting the entire built environment
UK Construction Week London (UKCW) will run alongside both Futurebuild and The Stone & Surfaces Show, attracting over 25,000 industry professionals.
The collaborative co-location will form the UK’s Built Environment super event, designed to reflect the full scale, complexity and ambition of an industry facing unprecedented change.
Together, the events will bring 25,000 built environment professionals, 600+ exhibitors and 700+ speakers across 6 dedicated stages under one roof – making it the largest and most comprehensive construction event in the UK calendar.
Opened by architect and Channel 4 presenter George Clarke, free registration is now open for UKCW – the only event designed to cater for the whole construction supply chain in the UK. The event will once again feature an exciting line-up of high profile industry figures and thought leaders set to be announced in the coming months.
Face-to-face networking remains at the heart of UKCW
Delegates can make the most of the dedicated show app to book meetings in advance, alongside CPD-accredited seminars, industry roundtables, live workshops, and meet the buyer sessions in the Build Connect Networking Lounge.
Sam Patel, divisional director, Construction, said: “After reaching our 10 year milestone last year, we’re incredibly excited to be returning to Excel with a refreshed event that reflects where the industry is heading today. UKCW London brings the entire construction supply chain together under one roof at a time when collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing has never been more important.
“UKCW is about building meaningful connections, and we’re proud to have created a platform that delivers real value for everyone who attends, whether it’s in-depth insight, inspiration, or practical solutions. This year’s show promises to be our biggest yet!”
