The TechFest conference is a forum to discover innovative ideas from across the industry

This one day festival will celebrate the projects, teams and companies embracing innovation and harnessing technology to propel the industry forward.

As both construction and the civil sector modernise and embrace technology Construction News and the New Civil Engineer have joined forces for this event being held at the Hilton Metropole in London.

Binnies civil engineer, Dylan Powell is participating in the panel discussion, ‘Engineering a better future: The early career engineer view’.

Early-career professionals, including Dylan, will offer insights into their vision for the sector’s development. From emerging technologies to sustainability initiatives, these young minds will discuss the opportunities and challenges they foresee shaping the future of engineering. Gain fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a glimpse into the next generation’s aspirations for the industry.

This session is a must-attend for seasoned professionals, students, and anyone passionate about driving positive change in engineering.

We hope you will join Dylan and his peers at the Big Ideas Stage for what promises to be a thought provoking discussion.
