FEEDBACKS FROM PARTICIPANTS
“It was very eye-opening about how the construction industry is still so traditional and all the possibilities that are already on the market to change that and make the buildings much more efficient on different aspects.” – Cris Mouro, London, ENGiE
“It’s always encouraging to get together with likeminded people. And it re-ignites our enthusiasm to hear about new innovations that are happening/are in the pipeline. It will be good to go back in the office with some actual data as well. A reminder of what my job should be about.” – Kirsty Childs, WYG, Manchester
