UK Construction Week at ExCeL London – the country’s largest built environment event – is less than two weeks away (May 3-5, 2022).
The show brings together all stakeholders within the built environment across every facet of design, build, and product innovation.
One of the event’s specialist stages, the Digital Construction Hub, curated by content partners Build in Digital, will showcase leaders, innovators, and thinkers pioneering a tech-led approach to construction, engineering, and architecture.
The Hub will hold practical workshops covering a range of topics, including BIM, digital twins, information interoperability, the golden thread of information, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Alongside thought-leading presentations and real-world case studies, the Hub will host two panel sessions. The first, ‘Streamlining the practical application of digital twins in the AEC industry’, explores how we can put digital twin theory into practice.
Taking to the stage will be chair Peter El Hajj, infrastructure advisor at KPMG; Claire Penny, global digital evangelist at Invicara; Darren Barker, BIM technical lead at Mott MacDonald; and Bola Abisogun, founder of Urbanis and DiverseCity Surveyors.
The second panel, capping off the three-day event, will be ‘The Future of Digital: Building back better post-COVID‘.
Chaired by Head of Legal & Business at ECA, Rob Driscoll, the panel will host Dave Shepherd, Project BIM Lead, Estate Information Management at UK Parliament; David Miller, Founder at David Miller Architects; Robin Dickenson, Senior Digital Consultant at Mott MacDonald; Ahmad Kamara, Structural Design Engineer at Network Rail; and making his second appearance, Bola Abisogun.
