Digital Construction Week (DCW), covering innovation and technology in the built environment, returns to Excel London on 4-5 June 2025.
From global campaigns to game-changing technologies, the Main Stage at DCW 2025 offers a front row seat to the biggest conversations shaping the AECO sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations) encompassing the planning, design, and construction of buildings and infrastructure. With access to renowned experts and real project insight, attendees will leave with practical ideas to take back to their teams and fresh inspiration for what’s next.
This year’s speakers promise to spark ideas and conversations that will shape the future of the built environment, with sessions covering everything from mental health to modern methods of construction and digital infrastructure transformation.
From awareness to action: Tackling the mental health crisis in construction
The construction industry is grappling with a serious mental health crisis, and Fred Mills (The B1M), Samantha Downie (Mates in Mind), Jenny McLaughlin (Heathrow Airport), and Sasha Reed (Procore) will explore how we move beyond raising awareness and into meaningful action. With voices from mental health advocacy, major infrastructure, and industry leaders, the session will spotlight practical, proven approaches to building a healthier workforce.
Attendees will take away:
• How industry campaigns have reached global audiences and raised critical funds
• How major clients like Heathrow are embedding mental health into their delivery strategy
• Practical ways organisations can create more supportive environments on site and off
Programmes + Productisation = Productivity²
What’s holding the industry back from fully embracing industrialised construction? In this myth-busting session, Az Jasat (Autodesk) and Dale Sinclair (WSP) explore the mindset shift needed to boost productivity at scale.
They’ll explore:
• Why programmes and productisation are critical to construction’s future
• The enduring myths limiting adoption of industrialised approaches
• How a manufacturing mindset unlocks productivity, safety and sustainability benefits
Digital transformation in infrastructure
The UK’s infrastructure pipeline includes over 150 major projects with tight timelines, budgets and sustainability targets. In this session, David John Varghese (AtkinsRéalis), Marie-Claude Hemming (CECA), Mark Beardmore (Jacobs), and Jalpesh Patel (Bluebeam) share how they’re leveraging digital tools to deliver better, faster, and greener.
Learn:
• How leading firms are transforming their tech stacks for complex delivery
• Ways that digital solutions support cost control, collaboration and sustainability
• Lessons from real-world case studies across UK infrastructure
Alongside the content programme, DCW 2025 will also feature 150+ exhibitors showcasing the latest digital tools, solutions, and services – plus plenty of opportunities to connect with peers from across the built environment.
