Generation for Tech - Better, Faster, Stronger

Lead sponsor: Sir Robert McAlpine Partner: The Construction Innovation Hub Exhibition sponsor: Henry Boot Construction Exhibition sponsor: Sheffield Hallam University

As G4C, the young professional voice of the UK Built Environment we recognise that technology is changing the face of the built environment right from design processes all the way through operation. Technology is modernising the way we design, make decisions and interact with one another leading to a smarter, more efficient and collaborative construction industry. Or will it?

Our generation has the power to change the future of the built environment like never before. We have access to technologies, tools and processes that open up possibilities to improve profitability and efficiencies creating a smarter more diverse industry.

As we see a continued rise in adoption of data-driven technology in construction, we will also see innovations in how this technology is utilised to create new efficiencies. G4C has the potential to fast-track the way we interact with tech. Join us at our annual conference to explore how the younger generation is using it to make our industry better, faster, stronger. Learn about the pitfalls and the potential and provide your perspective.
