Bigger and bolder: UKCW London returns as part of new industry super event

UK Construction Week (UKCW) returns to Excel London from 12-14 May with this year’s event set to be the biggest yet.

After celebrating its 10th anniversary last year, UKCW has joined forces with Futurebuild to create the UK’s Built Environment super event, where every stage of a project gets decided.

The largest and most comprehensive construction event in the UK calendar, UKCW will run alongside both Futurebuild and The Stone & Surfaces Show to bring together 25,000 industry professionals, 600+ exhibitors and 700+ speakers across six dedicated stages – all under one roof.

Opened by architect and Channel 4 presenter George Clarke, UKCW London attracts exhibitors from across the globe with big names such as Hilti Group, Cedral UK by Etex, Polypipe, FM Approvals, Hird and WOLFF Onsite set to showcase their latest products.

UKCW will once again feature a packed programme of CPD-accredited panels and seminars tackling the sector’s most pressing issues, featuring an unbeatable line-up of high profile industry figures and thought leaders.

Face-to-face networking continues to be at the core of the multi award-winning show. Make the most of your visit by using the dedicated show app to plan ahead. Quickly and easily book meetings in advance, as well as seminars, industry roundtables, live workshops, and exclusive ‘meet the buyer’ sessions in the Build Connect Networking Lounge.

Sam Patel, Divisional Director, Construction, said: “Bringing together construction leaders, innovators and decision makers, UKCW unites the entire construction supply chain under one roof at a time when collaboration, innovation and knowledge-sharing are more important than ever.

“With UKCW now sitting alongside Futurebuild and The Stone & Surfaces Show, it offers an even broader platform to gain invaluable industry insights and practical solutions, as well as building meaningful connections across every sector of construction. This year’s show promises to be our biggest and best yet!”
