Agenda

The agenda is designed to help businesses to succeed in a challenging and complex environment with unique blend of insight from the regionl built environment. Thought leaders from the related sectors, insightful panel discussions, one on one on-stage conversation with field experts and a raft of technical knowledge and solutions shared by a stellar line up of speakers.


Design

Buildings of the Future

The construction, operation, and eventual demolition of structures have contributed significantly to climate change the world over, so it’s now crucial that the industry drastically cut its impact on the environment. Sustainable construction methodologies and Net Zero Energy Buildings are just the beginning…

Data-led environments

Smart structures reflecting needs

As cities become smarter and digitally-led construction is the norm, data capture allows the built environment to be shaped around the needs of communities and individuals alike. What are the challenges – and threats – of this new order?

Emerging

Market Trends

Analysing the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors on the Middle East’s architectural industry and identifying opportunities for growth and innovation.



Skills

Adversaries

The dramatic incursion of AI-led tools such as Midjourney and DALL-E has placed powerful creative skillsets in the hands of engineers and contractors. Does this now mean more limited opportunities for Architectural firms and their focused, professional creatives?

Talent

Paving the Way for Future Architects

Construction industry stakeholders must deepen their engagement with educational institutions to attract and better prepare young people to deal with the challenges of tomorrow.
