The build conference

Build provides a unique platform for high-level networking and discussion of the latest trends and future evolutions in building materials, professional supplies and construction. On top of this attendants will receive valuable insights into the prospects for the B2B market via world-class keynote talks and panel discussions featuring the industry’s foremost thought-leaders.

Executive Exchange: CEOs meet CEOs

The Executive Exchange is our longest-standing event format and it was held four times in the past. It is held biannually in an intimate setting, bringing together CEOs, high-level executives and industry thought leaders to discuss topics that are of high strategic importance. In the future, we will further enhance this event as
well as our other event formats by partially transitioning from an in-person to a virtual event.
