This event is not just another trade show—it’s a living ecosystem of ideas, strategy, innovation, and high-value networking. It brings together world-renowned design studios, global manufacturers, and top-level professionals in construction, architecture, and design, all under one iconic roof. Held in Rome, a city where millennia of architecture continue to inspire modern design, the event stands at the intersection of history and innovation.

B-CAD, also known as the Building, Construction, Architecture, and Design fair, is distinctive not only for its scope but also for its format. It is the only international fair of its kind to hold ISFCERT ACCREDIA certification, emphasizing its commitment to standards, quality, and verified international reach. Hosted by Edilsocialnetwork, the event’s format is built not just for display—but for dynamic interaction. It fosters idea exchange, innovation incubation, and tangible business results.

Attendees at BCAD Rome don’t simply visit—they engage. They enter curated zones of innovation where dialogue is encouraged, solutions are demonstrated in real time, and high-level professionals from different continents connect in ways that spark lasting business collaborations.

Thematic innovation zones organized by discipline and sector

Rome: A Symbolic and Strategic Venue for Global Design Dialogue

The choice of Rome as host city is no accident. It is a city that stands as a global icon of architectural achievement, a place where innovation has always walked hand-in-hand with heritage. Holding a future-forward event in such a historically rich location sends a powerful message: innovation must respect context, and the future must learn from the past.

The symbolic strength of Rome gives BCAD a cultural dimension that other fairs often lack. Walking through the halls of the event, surrounded by international exhibitors and local excellence, attendees are reminded that architecture and construction are not just businesses—they are cultural contributions.

Why BCAD Rome Is a Must-Attend Event for Industry Leaders

B-CAD Rome also addresses the broader challenges of the construction and design industries—sustainability, digital transformation, urban density, energy efficiency, and circular economy models. The fair dedicates space and sessions to explore how the built environment must evolve in response to global realities.

Exhibitors are encouraged not only to show what they sell, but also to explain why it matters in shaping a sustainable future. As a result, the conversations at BCAD move quickly beyond sales into topics like:

Smart cities and connected infrastructure

Green building certifications and energy performance

Modular and prefabricated construction

Biophilic design and wellbeing-oriented architecture

Innovations in building management systems (BMS)

These layers of discussion and knowledge exchange are what elevate the expo from being merely a marketplace to a true global forum.

Building the Future, Together, in Rome

BCAD Rome is not just a fair—it is a mission-driven event, an international stage where construction, architecture, and design meet not as competitors, but as collaborators. It offers a space where solutions are tested, deals are formed, and ideas take their first breath toward becoming reality.

In an age where transformation is no longer optional, BCAD Rome gives industry leaders the tools, relationships, and perspective they need to lead with confidence.

Building & Modernizing

Building & Modernizing Zurich: Switzerland’s Premier Fair for Construction, Renovation, and Innovation

Switzerland has long been known for its precision, quality, and attention to detail—not only in its watches and finance sector but also in the realm of construction and housing. One of the most emblematic events showcasing this commitment to excellence is the ""Building & Modernizing"" fair held annually in Zurich, Switzerland. Since its founding in 1969, the event has earned its reputation as the oldest and most influential construction and renovation fair in the country, drawing thousands of visitors each year from both private and professional sectors.

Located in the vibrant Oerlikon district, the exhibition takes place within a 30,000 m² venue comprised of seven spacious halls and multiple conference rooms. With excellent public transport links and close proximity to the city center, the venue offers an ideal setting for interaction, innovation, and inspiration.

A Comprehensive Overview of Construction and Modern Living

The Zurich-based Building & Modernizing fair serves as a one-stop platform for exploring the latest trends in home construction, renovation, sustainable living, and advanced energy solutions. Whether you're a homeowner planning a kitchen update or a contractor looking for modern building materials, the fair brings together a vast spectrum of industries under one roof.

Exhibitors from Switzerland and abroad present a wide range of products and services, ensuring attendees can discover both tried-and-true building solutions and futuristic concepts. With offerings spanning everything from bathroom design to smart home technologies, the event covers all facets of modern living.

Key Focus Areas at the Event

Visitors to the show can explore a variety of sectors, including:

Residential construction and architectural planning

Interior design for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces

Heating systems, ventilation, and building automation

Flooring solutions and modern materials

Renewable energy and sustainable technologies

Electromobility and home charging systems

The fair ensures that each visitor—whether they are private homeowners, architects, engineers, or energy consultants—finds valuable insights tailored to their specific interests.

Interactive Learning Through Specialist Lectures and Forums

Education is a central component of the Building & Modernizing Zurich experience. One of the fair's standout features is its extensive lineup of over 30 free specialist lectures and expert-led forums. These sessions allow attendees to deepen their knowledge on important topics such as:

Replacing outdated heating systems with energy-efficient alternatives

Integrating solar and renewable energy sources into residential buildings

Navigating regulatory changes and Swiss building codes

Designing future-proof homes with smart automation and AI

Sustainable renovation practices for older homes

These discussions are led by industry leaders, researchers, and seasoned professionals, ensuring that participants receive credible, up-to-date information they can use to make informed decisions.

Why Building & Modernizing Zurich Stands Out

Unlike many expos that cater exclusively to professionals, Building & Modernizing Zurich successfully bridges the gap between industry experts and the general public.

Special themed areas focusing on topics like “Living in the Future” and “Eco-friendly Renovation”

Each year, the event draws in a supra-regional audience, expanding well beyond the borders of Zurich’s metropolitan area. This influx of visitors not only boosts the local economy, but also positions the city as a national hub for innovation in the building industry.

Many of the participants belong to Switzerland’s affluent demographic, making the event an ideal marketing and networking platform for high-end service providers and suppliers. Businesses launching new products, especially those with a focus on energy efficiency, modular building, or smart homes, find a receptive and informed audience here.

Enhancing Visitor Experience: Accessibility and Venue Highlights

The Oerlikon district, known for its balance of modern infrastructure and cultural richness, serves as the perfect location for such a multifaceted event. The fairgrounds are easily accessible by train, tram, and bus, making it simple for both local and international visitors to attend.

With clearly marked sections, numerous dining areas, and interactive information booths, the fair ensures a pleasant and productive experience for all participants.

London Real Estate Forum

London Real Estate Forum: A Stage for Partnership in Shaping the Future City

In an era of rapidly evolving urban challenges—from housing shortages and climate resilience to economic transformation and digital infrastructure—partnership is not a buzzword but a necessity. The London Real Estate Forum (LREF) stands as a powerful response to this reality. This premier annual event, hosted at the historic Guildhall in the City of London, will bring together 2,000 leaders from both public and private sectors to reimagine how collaboration can shape the future of our built environment.

Under the theme "Partnership," this year’s forum is poised to be one of the most consequential in its history. Stakeholders across planning, development, investment, local government, and architecture will gather not just to network, but to engage in meaningful dialogue about what effective partnerships truly look like in action—and how they can be leveraged to address today’s most pressing urban needs.

Reimagining the City Through Collective Leadership

At its core, LREF is a platform for strategic exchange. But what sets it apart is the quality of its discourse and diversity of its participants. The event draws CEOs, city planners, architects, sustainability experts, developers, investors, and civic leaders into the same conversation—each bringing their perspective, data, and challenges to the table.

Rather than focusing solely on individual projects or company goals, the forum shifts the lens toward shared responsibility and cross-sector impact. The city is not built by any one entity alone. To solve complex issues like affordable housing, transport connectivity, or net-zero urban development, collaboration must be deliberate, sustained, and values-driven.

Exploring What Effective Partnership Really Means

The concept of partnership can often feel vague—used broadly, but understood narrowly. At the London Real Estate Forum, the aim is to unpack the real mechanics of partnership in the built environment.

Key questions the forum will explore include:

How can the private sector better support long-term civic strategies?

What does risk-sharing look like in joint ventures between developers and local authorities?

How can community voices be genuinely integrated in city planning?

What role do data and technology play in aligning goals and measuring outcomes?

These discussions are not theoretical. They are grounded in case studies, panels, and fireside chats led by those actively shaping urban Britain—from large-scale regeneration schemes in London to community-led initiatives in regional cities.

A Gathering of Influential Voices Across Sectors

What truly defines the London Real Estate Forum is its high-caliber attendee base. These are not passive participants, but decision-makers responsible for billions in investment and years of community impact.

Attendees at LREF typically include:

Urban developers and housing associations

Local and central government leaders

Investment managers and institutional funders

Planning consultants and architects

Infrastructure and transportation providers

ESG experts and sustainability officers

The presence of such a diverse group makes cross-sector collaboration not just possible, but productive. Conversations that start in the halls of the Guildhall often lead to joint ventures, policy adjustments, or public-private coalitions that carry forward far beyond the event.

Key Themes in This Year’s Agenda

While the central theme of this year’s forum is "partnership," the specific topics reflect the current pressures and priorities of the real estate industry, particularly in London and major UK cities. The programming is designed to spark practical outcomes, not just insights.

Some of the critical themes include:

Urban resilience and climate adaptation – How the built environment can respond to floods, heat, and resource scarcity.

Social value and inclusion – Beyond buildings, how real estate can contribute to community wellbeing and economic fairness.

Financing the future city – How innovative funding models can de-risk long-term projects while aligning with public benefit.

Tech and smart cities – Exploring the role of data, sensors, and AI in better managing infrastructure and energy.

Design for longevity – Emphasizing sustainability and flexibility in architecture and planning.

Each of these sessions is designed not just for listening but for cross-examination, live Q&A, and breakout collaboration.

Why the Built Environment Depends on Deep Collaboration

The built environment—everything from roads and homes to parks and data centers—is the physical framework of society. And unlike digital sectors that can iterate rapidly, real estate is high-stakes, long-term, and interconnected. A poorly planned neighborhood can create decades of traffic congestion or economic imbalance. A well-executed partnership, on the other hand, can catalyze growth, resilience, and wellbeing for entire communities.

LREF’s mission is to create the trust, tools, and templates that allow these partnerships to flourish. In doing so, it becomes not only a forum but a launchpad for real, measurable change.

What Makes the London Real Estate Forum Unique

While there are many real estate events across the UK and Europe, the London Real Estate Forum occupies a unique position as a space where:

Private developers and public officials speak candidly in a neutral setting.

Multi-disciplinary panels explore a single issue from varied lenses (economic, social, technical).

The venue itself—the Guildhall—is a symbol of civic leadership and continuity.

The outcomes are often policy-informed and investment-ready.

This level of sophistication and focus makes LREF more than a conference—it’s an ecosystem builder for a better urban future.

A Forum for Shared Urban Ambition

As cities grow, densify, and diversify, the challenges they face demand solutions that no single organization or authority can solve alone. The London Real Estate Forum understands this reality and responds with a platform designed not for speeches, but for strategy.

By spotlighting partnership as the defining theme of this year’s event, LREF is inviting everyone with a stake in the future of cities to collaborate with intention. From policymakers to private investors, from developers to design thinkers, the forum reaffirms that the best results happen when we build together—not just in bricks, but in purpose.
