Overview

It’s an exciting and pivotal time for Wales, as significant funding and investment is creating new opportunities and developments across the built environment, including transport, education, housing, renewable energy, and redesigning existing and new buildings.

This in-person conference will provide invaluable knowledge of the different government schemes, latest infrastructure projects and any key regulatory changes, to ensure professionals remain at the forefront and know how to engage in these new projects.

Discover how Wales is driving sustainability and achieving net zero goals from utilising natural resources, retrofitting existing properties, and providing the blueprint for the development of net zero schools and inspiring the next generation.
