Five reasons why BEYOND ’27 LIVE should be in your calendar
06 November 2026
As autumn leaves fall and the darker days descend, next March suddenly feels a lot less far away.
In fact, the chance to save on your BEYOND ’27 LIVE tickets by being an early bird is fast disappearing, with only X days left to claim the discounted delegate rate of £329 (ex VAT).
But if you’ve not been to BEYOND before, or if you’re somehow still on the fence about joining us again, here’s a quick reminder of why it’s the must-attend conference in home building.

1. The future’s in focus
This year’s event has been designed around one simple but powerful theme: Future ready. Quality first.
That means a day built not only to explore the key issues expected to shape the industry over the next few years, but also to cover how businesses and tradespeople can adopt best practice technologies and methods today.
The breadth of topics and trades covered mean every delegate will be able to create their own personalised agenda of the most relevant content.
2. You’ll hear from the best
More than 35 speakers will be on the bill across five stages, including leaders from the private, public and third sectors.
These will include Shahi Islam, who oversees the £39bn Social and Affordable Homes Programme at Homes England, Lucian Cook, the Head of Residential Research at Savills, and Paul Brocklehurst, chair of the Land, Planning and Development Federation.
And with more big names and discussion panels to be announced publicly soon, you can expect unique insights galore on the day.
3. Putting the practical in practice
Real-world solutions will be on show, with best practice demos and talks this year taking place on the dedicated Focus stage.
Expect everything from ventilation to foundations, fire stopping and heat pumps to be discussed, with time and space for experienced area specialists to get technical.
4. Great networking opportunities
With over 1,500 attendees and 40 exhibitors expected, the CBS Arena will once again be abuzz with conversations between new friends and old.
For the first time, our new Connections Hub will also give delegates the chance to book meetings with each other, making it easier to carve out valuable time amid the pace of the event.
Technology manufacturers, consultants, subcontractors, energy suppliers… they and many others will all be there, ready to do business.
5. A brand-new feature
To help the industry prepare for the implementation of the Future Homes Standard, we’ve teamed up with the Future Homes Hub to curate the Activate stage.
There, the Hub’s experts will present sessions dedicated to topics like grid connections and photovoltaics.
But that’s not all.
Thanks to a partnership with Bellway and Smartroof, the Future Home Explorer exhibit will bring low-carbon home building to life through a timber-frame house model showcasing some of the latest technologies and a smartPUC pre-fabricated utility cupboard system.
So there you have it: five reasons to attend the one event you can’t miss next year.
