The 2020 Build Better Roadshows are set to kick off next month with an event in Sligo.
Led by Saint-Gobain along with brands Gyproc, Isover and Weber, the roadshows aim to target upskilling in construction with a trade event for a wide range of building fabric solutions.
This year's events look to build on the success of the 2019 programme, which attracted 667 construction professionals with leading experts from Paul McAlister Architects, Wain Morehead Architects Ltd and Eamonn O'Boyle & Associates lending a hand.
Speaking on the success of last year's event, Kieran Holohan, Marketing Director, Saint-Gobain said: "We are delighted with the success of last year's event and the quality of our speakers as well as the number of attendees, and look forward to welcoming even more construction professionals to our 2020 events. The industry is under exceptional pressure to up-skill and Saint-Gobain is dedicated to leading the progression of best practice within the sector through our new Build Better Roadshow and our Technical Academy. We look forward to this year's nationwide events that look to help meet the demand for construction upskilling."
The first event will be held at the Radisson Blu Sligo on 12 March, followed by one at the Crowne Plaza North Dublin on 07 May and another at the Crowne Plaza Belfast on 17 June. Further events are scheduled for Silversprings Hotel Cork on 17 September and South Dublin on an unspecified date.
Each event will offer a series of industry-specific seminars throughout the day that will focus on the topics of fire safety, acoustics and energy efficiency in respect to achieving compliance and meeting the demands of current construction standards and expectations across both residential and non-residential projects. It will also provide attendees with an opportunity to see and understand new and existing products that help their clients to build better.
Dates for all events are subject to change, with final speaker and seminar details for all events available here.
