The theatres are focused on some of the key areas shaping the built environment. These include information management, geospatial, digital transformation, people and change, asset management, net zero and more. 

New for 2024 is the Table Talks Theatre, which will facilitate round table style sessions and debates on a variety of topics, encouraging interactive learning and networking. Attendees will be able to book their seats in advance, which is encouraged as turning up on the day may not guarantee a space. Further information on this will be shared soon.

Visitors can expect to be inspired and informed by high profile presenters and curated panel discussions covering the industry’s most pressing issues, exploring new ideas and actionable insights. The full programme will be announced in the spring.
