Leaders’ Summit will provide a platform for attendees to witness the transformative power of lateral thinking and creative problem- solving in shaping the Built Environment’s future around the four central pillars of "Organisational Transformation," "Digitalisation," "Advanced Manufacturing," and "Innovation & Technology”.

With a forward-thinking focus, the summit will delve into compelling topics such as the rise of generative AI and the transformative potential of digitalisation and innovation, and their profound impact on the Built Environment. The four keynote speakers headlining the conference are:
