Construction activity across the North rarely sits within a single city or region. Projects, supply chains, skills and decision-making increasingly operate across boundaries. We’ve been developed with that reality in mind.
The event has been designed to reflect how the construction industry operates across the North, through regional networks, shared supply chains and overlapping project activity, rather than a single city focus.
The day will begin with a panel discussion examining the scale of construction opportunity across the North, and the sector’s ability to deliver it. Drawing on pipeline data, economic insight and industry experience, the session will explore where opportunity is emerging, the constraints facing delivery, and the practical steps needed to turn ambition into progress. It is designed to provide context and direction for the rest of the conference.
The format brings conference sessions, exhibition space and a dedicated Meet the Buyer area together in one venue, allowing attendees to focus on what is most relevant to their role.
