InstallerSHOW is back and bigger than ever for 2024, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham from 25 -27 June. The UK’s must-visit event focusing on the sustainable delivery of heat, water, air and energy is packed full of solutions for you, whatever type of project you are working on.

With ten streams of top quality content and 600 exhibitors, InstallerSHOW will offer a huge selection of products to help Constructing Excellence members, plus expertise and solutions to help deliver sustainable buildings and get us firmly on the route to net zero.

Many of our exhibitors will be offering demos and taster training sessions during the show, with the chance to get hands-on with the latest products and discuss how they might help your projects.

Top speakers, insight and advice

The Housing Hub will be returning for 2024, with a three day programme of content designed for housebuilders, contractors, architects and housing associations, as well as those working in the supply chain. It will tackle the key challenges of decarbonising our homes, as well as meeting the regulations set out in the Building Safety Act.

It comes at a key time for those involved in the planning and construction of new homes, with the Future Homes Standard due to come into effect in 2025 and an uplift in housebuilding activity which has been widely forecast.

Our facilitators for the Housing Hub will be climate and sustainability journalists Rachel England and Jim McClelland. We’ll be addressing topics relevant for both newbuild and refurbishment projects, all designed to help our audience make homes healthier, more energy efficient and affordable. Sessions will include the Future Homes Standard, taking a fabric first approach to retrofit, designing low carbon homes and the Building Safety Act.

You will be able to hear from housebuilders including Persimmon & Cala, as well as industry partners including the National Retrofit Hub and National Home Improvement Council.

In the Elemental Arena you’ll hear from industry leaders in a range of panel discussions, keynote talks, Q&As and interactive seminars, tackling the major topics in our industry.

Constructing Excellence Midlands join this year’s content programme, and will be discussing and debating the Changing landscape for skills.

We know we need to build a net zero workforce and ensure the industry has the skilled professionals to decarbonise our buildings. Panellists for this session will consider the skills that are in demand and how we can train both existing installers and new recruits, particularly when small construction businesses will be at the heart of retrofit delivery.

Andrew Carpenter, Chief Executive of Constructing Excellence Midlands will be joined on stand by John Hancock, COO of Wolseley Group, Paul Amann, Policy Officer at Liverpool Region Combined Authority, Bola Abisogun, Founder of Digital Twins Skills Academy, and Clayton Browne, MD of CB Heating.

This important debate, The Changing landscape for Skills, will take place Tuesday 25 June, 3:30PM in the elemental Arena.

Other highlights in the elemental Arena include Deborah Meaden, Jordon Brompton, Co-Founder of myenergi, and Lord Callanan, Minister for Energy Efficiency & Green Finance. Check the full content timetable, with over 10 theatres here
