Digital construction specialist May Winfield and Build UK CEO Suzannah Nichol OBE will deliver keynote presentations at the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) Annual Conference on October 16.
The event at the Brewery in London will focus on business growth with sessions aimed at helping building engineering firms identify new markets and opportunities, as well as achieving more through innovation and workforce development.
Theatre One will be focused on the day-to-day business of running a building engineering firm and Theatre Two will concentrate on how firms can ensure their employees are equipped with the skills they need to meet current and future challenges.
Winfield’s morning keynote, Implementing AI: Will You Get Sued?, will challenge delegates to look at how AI is transforming the way we work but also consider the risks in areas like contract liability and data responsibility. A leading construction lawyer with almost two decades of industry experience, she will explore the implications of integrating AI and explain what firms must do to protect themselves and their projects.
Nichol’s afternoon headline slot will focus on sector collaboration, resilience, and growth. Building Better Together: Transforming Construction for Growth and Efficiency will consider how the construction supply chain can unite to drive productivity, deliver critical housing and infrastructure, and support the next generation of skilled professionals.
