Welcome to the RICS Built Environment European Summit 2024, the second edition of our prestigious event, set against the vibrant backdrop of Bilbao, Spain. Following the success of our inaugural forum in Venice, we are proud to bring together industry pioneers, thought leaders, and professionals to delve into the critical issues shaping the future of the built and natural environments in Europe.
Join us for an exclusive Gala dinner amidst the architectural marvel of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by the visionary Frank Gehry. This iconic venue symbolizes the intersection of art, culture, and innovation, setting the stage for an evening of unparalleled elegance and networking opportunities. Gala dinner start: 18:30 CET (the evening begins with a private guided tour of the museum).
Bilbao has undergone a total revolution in recent decades: from being a completely industrialised city to Bilbao being today a city committed to sustainable development at all levels. Bilbao has always been a trailblazer on urban transformation, innovation is ingrained in its identity. Therefore, now more than ever Bilbao wants to spearhead efforts for sustainability, and there’s no better place to match both goals than the island of Zorrotzaurre where delegates would have a chance to do a site visit.
The main Summit will unfold at the Azkuna Zentroa - Alhóndiga Bilbao, a testament to Bilbao's transformation from an industrial city to a hub of culture and creativity. Against this dynamic backdrop, industry leaders will convene to explore key themes such as sustainability, green governance, risk management, and the role of technology in driving positive urban change.
By participating in this immersive summit, you will:
Following a unique experience of a Gala dinner at the Guggenheim, the next full day participants will build a picture of how changing work and lifestyle norms amid a global economic downturn are impacting industry practice and notions of business-as-usual. To conclude, we will outline the ways that stakeholders from across construction, real estate and investment as well as the public sector provide trusted solutions to support positive urban transformation.
By joining this in-person event, participants will be able to network and exchange best practice with peers from across the region, be up to date with the latest industry thinking, trends and forecasts and find out about state-of-the-art solutions to industry-wide challenges.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bilbao for an unforgettable experience. Together, let's shape the future of Europe's built environment.
