Abstract

The fourth edition of Digital Construction Week, described by its organisers as the UK's leading trade show dedicated to digital construction, engineering, design, manufacturing operation returned to Excel London on 17-18 October 2018.

The most successful DCW to date featured over 6,500 visitors, 200 exhibitors, around 250 speakers presenting across six stages and a dedicated thought leadership conference stream.

The IET, which shared a stand with Wienerberger and IBM, showcased its new 'Scaling Up Retrofit 2050' report and previewed some of its upcoming work on fire safety in high-rise buildings.

We also took the opportunity to discuss some of the new trends across construction, as this video from the event shows. 

The next Digital Construction Week will take place at Excel London again on 16-17 October 2019.
