Urbano Build networking breakfast

Urbano Build is a programme of regular networking events aimed particularly at architects, developers, property investors, designers, interior designers and other professionals associated with the built environment sector to make connections, gather information, create associations and find new businessopportunities.

Urbano Build events take the best bits of conferences - interesting themes, great speakers - and strip them back to an event that is affordable, lively and accessible.

You always meet a diverse range of businesses and their representatives in a lively session of informal but facilitated networking where you can easily find and speak to every other company there. You also have full access to the speaker and only sit down for the presentation!

For the past three years, Mark Herring, Urbano's CNO, has been bringing together audiences to hear high-profile sector speakers, such as the The Minister for Architecture, the Chairs of CABE and BURA, Martha Schwartz (landscape architect), Theis + Khan, Jackie Sadek, CEO of UKRegeneration and Mark Bew, the Government's BIM Champion, amongst others.

Testimonial
"I have a lot of time for Urbano Build network. They have a philosophy of "exchanging value" that I find rather empowering. Urbano is a facilitating vehicle, brokering opportunities for smaller companies to get involved, both with each other, and with larger partners. They champion quality suppliers, especially in areas such as BIM, design and new technologies." Jackie Sadek, CEO - UK Regeneration
