Key topics of discussion

The main topics in the debate were around infrastructure, economy and the various challenges the industry is facing at the moment. This most amazing thing was that the CN Summit focused on the reality of construction; the actual issues that have been going on and have not been solved. The thought leaders talked about the effect of Brexit on the economy and the industry.
The event didn鈥檛 focus on the glamour of technology such as Virtual Reality and Artificial Reality as much as trying to help players and advice seekers with the current resources that the industry can utilize.

The main focus was on the construction industry of United Kingdom, so it was a good place to hear about the problems that the country is facing with regards to construction. There was also discussion regarding the use of data and its benefits to the industry.

“The main topics focused on the skills of the UK, planning for the future and what we need to do immediately. It’s about acting now – not just talking about it.” said Dominic Rebello

Takeaways from the summit

High quality events such as the CN Summit play a vital role in bringing change. It’s true that it’s not enough to just talk but knowledge sharing can be a powerful thing. When shared with the right people, it can lead to a revolution. It helps to see that the industry leaders share our vision and understand the imminent need for change in the building sector.
It is clear that a new digitised era is emerging. Those of us who want to bring that change, need to be at events such as CN Summit and let our voice be heard. Through the summit we were able to inform industry leaders that we are here to solve their problems.

Our feedback to the CN Summit team

During the event, CN Summit also organized a 1-2-1 meeting programme. It was for the sponsors to get a chance to meet key leaders for a 10 to 20 minute chat. The programme was organized by requesting meetings and waiting for the other party to either accept or reject it.
We thought that it was a very good way to get in touch with people and were pleased with the effort CN Summit put in for the sponsors. It was an interesting initiative and we strongly believe that it will be even better next year.
All in all, it was a great event, as we got more than 8 hours of networking done. We were very pleased with the whole experience and would love to see what does in 2018.
