Urbano Build events are stripped down conferences, exploring interesting themes and built around great speakers, where the the focus is on networking and creating connections and opportunities. You always meet a diverse range of businesses and their representatives in a lively session of informal but facilitated networking.

For the past five years, Mark Herring, Urbano Network's MD, has been bringing together audiences to hear high-profile sector speakers, such as the The Minister for Architecture, the Chairs of CABE and BURA, Martha Schwartz (landscape architect), Theis + Khan, Jackie Sadek, CEO of UKRegeneration and Mark Bew, the Government's BIM Champion, amongst others.

Our guest speaker at this event is Kevin McCloud, designer and presenter of Grand Designs.

Kevin studied history of art and architecture at Cambridge before becoming a designer.

With Grand Designs now a brand synonymous with encouraging innovation in construction, with the emphasis on sustainable and new approaches to design and development, Kevin launched his own company Hab [Happiness Architecture Beauty] to put his ideas about design, development and community into practice.

Kevin will talk about his approach to design, the lessons he has learned from his work with Hab and Hab's approach to investment in projects through crowdfunding.

** Hab is currently raising £1.5M through crowdfunding. For more details on how to take part, please click here: Hab Crowdcube **

Testimonial

"I have a lot of time for Urbano Build network. They have a philosophy of "exchanging value" that I find rather empowering. Urbano Network is a facilitating vehicle, brokering opportunities for smaller companies to get involved, both with each other, and with larger partners. They champion quality suppliers, especially in areas such as BIM, design and new technologies."
Jackie Sadek, CEO - UK Regeneration
