OFFSITE2007: the conference
Running in parallel with the OFFSITE2007 exhibition is a three-day conference aimed at the key decision makers in the construction industry, which will give those responsible for commissioning, designing, owning or managing major building projects a chance to join the key debates.
Attending the conference will give you access to the very latest thinking on MMC systems and off-site manufactured building technologies. Conference delegates will have opportunities to visit The Big Build area and exhibition at various points throughout the daily programme.
