Event Info

We took sixteen people from different design and construction backgrounds and asked them to choose a subject to present and share their views on, be it specific to their line of work, or something which is of particular personal interest. There were no restrictions on what could be discussed.  The sixteen come from central and regional government, a health trust, contractors as well as design, engineering and project management roles.

 

The culmination is eight thought provoking seminar sessions from across the Education, Healthcare and Residential sectors within which our organisation operates, covering issues such as acoustics, well-being, social value, climate change and designing spaces that meet the needs for all in society.

More information on our speakers and their topics can be found below.

“I have been attending ACN conference since its inception.

The ACN has provided some great networking opportunities, resulting in new professional relationships and commissions.

But it has also been a great forum for discussing current challenges and opportunities facing designers and constructors of across all three sectors.”

Sarah Curl, Director, Curl la Tourelle Head Architecture
