How to connect with specifiers from across the UK built environment
Before apportioning your precious budget, the most critical question to answer when surveying the marketing landscape is whether an option can help you engage the right target audience.
Naturally, you need to consider whether that option can help you achieve your desired goals, but unless you get the “who” part right, it should be non-starter.
The UK’s construction mega show at Excel London
London Build has long been established as the leading and largest construction event in the UK, designed to connect specifiers and suppliers across the built environment; elementalLONDON shares a similar purpose but specifically to advance the efficiency of buildings.
Hosted together at Excel London on 25-26 November 2026, it will attract over 25,000 visitors, drawn to 650+ exhibitors and 900+ speakers across 17 conference stages.
London Build attracts the full spectrum of industry professionals with those involved in specification and procurement from contractors, architects, developers, housing associations, engineers, local authorities, and major infrastructure organisations.
The elementalLONDON community comprises building services engineers, M&E engineers, architects, developers and sustainability managers from large residential and commercial and industrial projects within the private and public sectors.
How to target more precisely
Creating the largest specifier event in the UK, and the breadth it offers, is fantastic – however, you might want to narrow the focus and ensure that you can be more specific in the “who”.
By nature, people have a sense of belonging; they want to identify with, or be a part of, something.
We understand that, and as such have established foundational pillars where our event has real strength:
- Fire Safety
- Digital Construction
- Health & Safety
- Modern Methods of Construction
- Commercial & Industrial HVAC
Curating over 220 hours of CPD-accredited content around these key themes helps define the profile of visitors that are drawn to our show.
What’s new for 2026?
We remain mindful of the elements that have made this the UK’s favourite construction show and will continue to deliver world-class content from the industry’s leading voices within an immersive and memorable environment.
The co-location of London Build and elementalLONDON and incorporation of CIBSE Build2Perform at Excel London helps accommodate the show’s accelerating demand with a larger, more flexible venue.
New features include:
- Sustainability Arena: spotlighting the key conversations, technologies, and strategies driving progress toward Net Zero 2050.
- Start-Up Zone: championing innovation by showcasing emerging companies that are shaping the future of construction.
- Careers Hub: supporting the next generation with opportunities, insights, and connections for new entrants to the industry.
