CIF DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION SUMMIT 2022

The drive towards digitalisation and innovation presents one of the biggest opportunities for the construction industry. The pandemic brought about a sea-change in the way companies conduct their day-to-day business and was the unexpected catalyst for digital adoption. As we begin to emerge stronger after some difficult years, we need to ensure that this momentum is maintained and that we continue to evolve on our journey to truly adopting digital work practices. Embracing innovation and new technologies is crucial to future success, job creation and better infrastructure across Ireland.

The economic outlook for the construction industry is largely positive for the year ahead and it’s an exciting time for the sector although there are a huge number of different policy areas which impact upon it. With the publication of the Modern Methods of Construction report by the Innovation & Digital Adoption for Construction Sector Group, the industry has a highly insightful and authoritative guide on the potential to transform the industry. Specialist contractors are the leaders in this space and have been driving that development of policy that will lead the digitalisation of the sector as it moves to design for manufacture of prefabricated modular units off-site. This year has already seen a number of positive developments for the sector which will allow us to continue to play a vital role in creating an inspiring vision for the nation.

The CIF Digital Construction Summit 2022 will bring together leaders from across the construction sector to hear the latest policy updates, how to answer the key productivity challenges, explore how industry and government can work together and examine best practices in Europe and elsewhere. The trailblazers in the industry leading the field in digital adoption will tell us how digitalisation is increasing productivity and improving efficiencies. And how in this new decade of disruption, the construction industry in Ireland is well placed to help lead this new era of digital, data-driven devices and solutions.

We will showcase the latest cutting-edge technology and other developments including Construction 4.0, the next generation of construction and its main elements – digitalisation, the establishment of a technology research centre and modern methods of construction (MMC).

Our expert speakers will discuss how as more certainty emerges within the industry and confidence grows in there being a strong pipeline of industry projects, there is a need to consider how to structure the business and include the talent needed to employ the latest changes in technology. Furthermore, technology can also help in creating huge opportunities in an ever-changing landscape to create a more diverse workforce.

The CIF Digital Construction Summit 2022 will be live and in-person in Croke Park Stadium.

So, join us on 9th June for insightful and stimulating discussions on how in this decade of disruption, game changing products and technologies can increase productivity and improve efficiencies for your business.
