Build Better with Wood
On Thursday 2 July 2026, built environment leaders came together to discuss how we can create systemic change and break down barriers to timber in construction.
Delegates met at One Birdcage Walk, SW1H 9JJ, overlooking St James’ Park, in the heart of Westminster, for a day packed with panel discussions, technical CPD, networking and a product exhibition.
Supported by Swedish Wood and PEFC UK, the conference has proved itself a must-attend event for anyone interested in designing or building with wood.
