CIOB will be one of 180 exhibitors at the Kent Construction EXPO – the largest event for construction professionals in the southeast – on 3 October.

The event, now in its 10th year, will see over 1,000 attendees. Among those taking stands this year are leading industry names Willmott Dixon, Baxall Construction, GSE Group, Kier, Jenner, Morgan Sindall, DHA and Abbott Construction. 

This year over 20 discussion sessions are planned, covering a wide array of topics within four key conference streams: digital construction, sustainability, the Building Safety Act and procurement.

Networking opportunities include Meet the Buyer opportunities, a Networking Breakfast and the Gala Dinner – which sell out every year.

The EXPO is growing annually: the 2023 event saw a 15% increase in attendees compared to 2022, continuing a trend of 10% annual growth since Revolution began staging the event in 2018.

Visitor surveys showed that 97% of attendees reported that the event met their objectives, while 98% indicated they would consider doing business with an organisation they met at the EXPO.

Additionally, 98% expressed a desire to return to future events, underscoring the lasting value of the connections made.

The EXPO takes place at the Kent Event Centre, near Maidstone. Register at https://kentconstructionexpo.com.
