Voltimum will also be hosting the Smart Solutions Awards within the Building Tech Live arena on Wednesday 10 October.
Eddie Embleton, Managing Director of Voltimum, said: “We have supported UK Construction Week since its launch in 2015, and each year we have grown our seminar programme provision with our partners like Schneider Electric, ABB, Legrand, Dimplex, Vent Axia and Nexans.
“Last year we launched the Smart Solutions Awards from the Hub at the show with Steph McGovern which was very successful, so we are extremely excited about growing these with Steph again on Wednesday 10th October in Building Tech Live.”
In addition, industry experts from ECA will present talks across the three days on the following:
- Government, industry, economics and digital – a transformational trajectory, with Rob Driscoll, Deputy Director of Business Policy and Practice
