Following on from a record-breaking 2023 show, Digital Construction Week (DCW) will be returning to ExCeL London on 5-6 June 2024. 

As the UK’s leading event for innovation and technology in the built environment, around 6,400 forward-thinking industry professionals attend DCW each year. They come to engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, discover new solutions and forge in-person connections. 

Now, the opportunity is yours to become an integral part of the conversation by submitting your application to speak at the 2024 show. 

Why should you apply to speak? 

DCW provides an ideal platform to elevate your profile and share your expertise with an engaged audience eager to shape the future of digital construction. 

The free-to-attend event boasts an impressive speaker program featuring over 200 sessions. Each year, the line-up includes numerous thought leaders and digital disruptors, sharing their insights with one of the largest audiences in the built environment. 

Selected speakers will receive promotion through the DCW programme, both online leading up to the event and in print during the show, offering exposure to thousands of industry professionals. 

Who should apply? 

Our team is on the lookout for passionate and knowledgeable speakers willing to share case studies, research projects, engage in debates, host workshops, provide live demonstrations, offer how-to guides, present examples of best practices, and introduce new technologies and ideas.  

Multiple entries are permitted, allowing applicants to unleash their creativity in their submissions. 
 
Talks cover an array of hot topics and industry trends, including Digital Twins, Information Management, modular building, Smart Cities, DfMA, Internet of Things, robotics, cloud computing, AI, virtual and augmented reality, 3D modelling, and much more. 

Event Director, Ollie Hughes, explains, "Speaking at the show is open to anyone and everyone within the built environment community. Not only do you get the chance to share your thoughts and experiences live on stage, but you also play a role in advancing our industry. 

"If you've spoken before, we warmly welcome you back and encourage you to inspire your colleagues and peers to join in.  

“Similarly, we are committed to providing a platform for fresh voices in the industry to help our community grow. So, if you're new to presenting, we especially want to hear from you!" 

Never presented before? No problem! 

Passionate about fostering diverse perspectives within the industry, the team behind the show warmly invite new voices from the built environment sector to apply as speakers. 

DCW is eager to create new role models and inspire others to join the sector, making it an ideal platform for traditionally under-represented groups to contribute their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.  

Additionally, a mentor program is being introduced to pair experienced speakers with newcomers, providing guidance and support, with the goal of encouraging continued participation in future events.
