People Powered: Placing people at the heart of an AI-enabled built environment  AI is transforming construction, creating new opportunities to improve predictability, productivity and performance. Yet technology will only deliver lasting value if it helps people make better decisions with greater confidence.  Throughout 2026, Constructing Excellence has explored two connected themes: artificial intelligence and health, safety and wellbeing. Both are ultimately shaped by culture, leadership, behaviours and people.  On Wednesday 27th January 2027, we will explore key focus areas that will help us assess how we can achieve excellence and drive success across the built environment. Technology: How can AI improve decisions, productivity, and performance? People: How do we protect, support, and empower the workforce? Leadership: How do we create the culture and conditions for better outcomes? Who you will reach  The conference will bring together an engaged cross-sector audience from across the Constructing Excellence network.  Each year the annual conference brings together an engaged cross-sector audience from across the Constructing Excellence network, including clients, contractors, consultants, supply chain partners, digital and AI specialists, health, safety and wellbeing leaders, future leaders and senior decision-makers from across the built environment.  Reserve your place and join us on Wednesday 27 January 2027!
