CPDs have become a vital part of
professional career requirements for
architects. With circa 20 hours of
informative CPD accredited content, the
Offsite Expo Masterclasses provide the
opportunity to learn directly from those
who are shaping the future of construction
and help fulfil this commitment.


Expect – International Innovation
at the Offsite Summit
With sessions chaired by some of the
industry’s biggest names including Mark
Farmer, author of the ‘Modernise or Die’
report, over 30 international speakers
ranging from architects and specifiers to
engineers, manufacturers and project
managers will participate in the Offsite
Summit. Delegates will have the chance to
interact with speakers during panel Q&A
sessions, structured networking and an
evening drinks reception. Advanced offsite
approaches and smart technologies are
changing the face of construction globally,
and we can learn from the way that other
countries are addressing similar challenges.


Explore – Smart Technologies
Digital transformation is happening all
around us, and whilst other industries
have been quick to make the leap, the
construction industry has been a little
slower out of the starting blocks. But
now, the revolution is well underway.
Offsite Expo will feature the smart
technologies that are changing the face of
construction with a range of devices
making complicated tasks much easier –
from virtual reality to smart helmets
and digital software efficiencies. The
rate of technological advancements is
accelerating at such a relentless pace, it
cannot be ignored, and the combination
of offsite manufacturing and digital
construction technologies present a
compelling proposition.
Virtual Reality has transformed the way
that architects present their visions. It
immerses the user by making them feel
like they are experiencing the simulated
reality first-hand – allowing clients to
play an integral part of the design process
and ‘virtually’ enter the building and
validate the layout. Augmented Reality, on


the other hand, provides more freedom
for the user, because it does not need to
include a head-mounted display.
Augmented Reality takes the real world and
adds elements to it – for example, a new
extension could be digitally superimposed
onto an existing building.
With over 100 exhibitors, features and
offsite technology showcases, Offsite Expo
will provide the opportunity to interact
directly with smart technology suppliers
and full-scale feature builds.

Offsite Connect – the Buyers and
Specifiers Forum invites architects
Offsite Connect provides a solution to
address offsite construction technology
project needs, by facilitating personally
selected ‘one-to-one’ business meetings. The
Buyers and Specifiers Forum will provide an
opportunity to network with “key offsite
industry experts who have a genuine desire
to conduct purposeful meetings,” say the
event organisers. It will also be a chance
to learn about the latest offsite product
innovations. “This focused approach has
proved to be highly successful in creating
new business relationships.”
Registration for buyers and specifiers
wishing to participate in the Offsite
Connect activity can be done online at
