Adapt And Thrive Conference Launched By CIOB

CIOB logo The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has launched a new virtual Adapt and Thrive conference. The one-day event will take place on Wednesday 24 March 2021, looking at what the construction industry might look like post-pandemic, how the sector needs to change to meet the changing needs of society and how it can adapt to future-proof both the industry and the buildings it creates.

Speakers from a broad selection of industry bodies, government officials, key influencers from the construction industry and innovative tech companies will share their vision for achieving an agile and productive industry that is fit to underpin the social and economic demands of modern day living. These include Dame Judith Hackitt, Chair of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, Fergus Harradence, Deputy Director, Construction at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), and the presidents of RICS, RIBA, ICE and RTPI.

Mark Beard, President of the CIOB, said:

“The CIOB Adapt & Thrive conference comes at a crucial time for the Construction Industry as we go through many unforeseen changes, adapting and embracing new ways of working. Our industry has been quick to respond to COVID-19; the pandemic has shown us that we are far more capable of change than we had previously imagined. These are uncertain times for everyone working in the industry, but this crisis has shown that construction can step up to the mark when required. I look forward to a lively exchange of ideas on 24 March and to CIOB's Adapt and Thrive conference providing some of the necessary building blocks for the re-shaping of our industry.”
