NHBC has launched a new future-focused event designed to reflect the ever-changing nature of the house-building industry, address the wide range of issues affecting the sector and examine the unique challenges those in construction face.
For three decades, Building for Tomorrow was NHBC’s leading annual technical event. Now, based on delegate feedback, it has been reimagined as BEYOND ’25 LIVE – a full-scale, national conference to be held at Coventry Building Society (CBS) Arena on Thursday, 20th March 2025.
BEYOND ‘25 LIVE has been devised to help those in the house-building industry understand more about standards and legislation, offer ideas on how to bridge the skills gap and reach net-zero. The event will also incorporate a variety of workshops and training sessions, providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities and the chance to network with colleagues from across the sector. There will also be a full exhibition and a dedicated networking space.
Guest speakers will include Nigel Banks, Technical Director at Octopus Energy, Rhodri Williams, Technical and Sustainability Director at the Home Builders Federation (HBF) and Richard Smith, Head of Standards, Innovation and Research at NHBC.
Paul Edwards, Senior Regional Director at NHBC comments, “BEYOND ‘25 LIVE will support our customers by building on their professional knowledge, helping them learn more about future changes in the house-building sector, as well as providing exceptional opportunities for networking.”
