Highlights from the programme...
Stay ahead of what’s shaping the built environment with the CPD-accredited seminar programme at DCW.
Designed for professionals across architecture, engineering, construction and operations, the programme is packed with practical insights, emerging trends and real-world case studies.
Across two days, you’ll have access to 230+ free-to-attend sessions including expert panels, interactive workshops and live technology demos. Explore the biggest topics transforming the industry – from BIM, digital twins and AI to sustainability, data, robotics and the future of project delivery.
Whether you’re driving digital transformation, delivering projects or exploring new technology, every session is designed to leave you with ideas, strategies and connections you can take back to your work.
Programme highlights:
- Everton Stadium: Delivering a Docklands stadium through DfMA
Nick Tyrer, Associate Director, BDP Pattern
Now open as the home of Everton FC, Hill Dickinson Stadium is one of the most significant stadium projects delivered in the UK in recent years. Learn how BDP Pattern embedded DfMA through computational design, enabling around 70% off-site fabrication across the façade, roof, and seating bowl.
- From geometry to fabrication: The interoperability gap we don’t see
Rita Baltasar, Lead Digital Engineer, Bouygues
A sharp look at why digital models so often fall short in fabrication – and how embedding tolerances, constraints and manufacturing intelligence into the design process can break the costly redraw cycle for good.
- The impact of early stage design decisions on whole life carbon
Catherine Sinclair, Head of Research, SPACE Architects
A session for anyone trying to make carbon reduction a practical reality, not just a target. Catherine shows how early-stage carbon insight can become a shared foundation for design teams to reduce emissions when their influence is greatest.
- Digitally reimagining a UNESCO world heritage icon: The Palace of Westminster
Muhammadou Ndure, BIM Technician & Richard Middleton, Head of Digital Design | Houses of Parliament Restoration and Renewal Programme Delivery Authority
From 19th-century Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin drawings to one of Europe’s largest and most detailed heritage BIM models. This session unpacks the surveying, point cloud capture and modelling techniques behind an extraordinary digitalisation project.
