BEYOND '27 LIVE

BEYOND '27 LIVE is coming to the Coventry Building Society Arena on Thursday 4 March, the NHBC national conference for everyone involved in UK home building. It's now in its third year, and the scale is pretty broad: it's aimed at the whole industry, from CEOs right down to apprentices, so you'll find people from all different levels of the trade in the same room.

There's a lot to work through on the day. More than 1,500 people gather across four dedicated content stages, with over 35 presenters and more than 40 exhibitors. It's not just a series of talks, either; the day combines industry presentations and discussion with an exhibition and networking, so you can move between listening to the sessions and chatting with the people and companies on the floor.

The programme focuses on practical themes that hit home for anyone building houses: housing delivery, affordability, viability and competence. The aim for delegates is to get a handle on the current and future housing market, raise quality and technical performance in home building, put home buyers at the heart of delivery and get industry competency right. The Future Homes Standard, first announced in the 2019 Spring Statement, has been a running thread through the conference series, and it'll be part of the conversation here too.

It runs from 08:30 to 15:30 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Judds Lane, Coventry, CV6 6GE. An early-bird delegate rate of £329 excluding VAT is available from 15 October 2026, with a rate of £279 excluding VAT for housing associations and local authorities, and a standard delegate rate of £349 excluding VAT from 17 November.
