Why attend

Retrofitting isn’t a choice—it’s a necessity. With 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 already standing, the need to upgrade, decarbonise and futureproof the UK’s built environment is urgent.

CN RE:NEW is the must-attend event for construction professionals looking to lead the delivery of retrofit and refurbishment projects and make the most of the opportunities in this sector.

Join us for a high-impact day of insight, networking, and knowledge exchange as we bring together senior leaders from across housing, commercial real estate and the public sector estates to tackle the challenge and understand the market trends.

Key reasons to attend:


Unpack policy and funding:

Understand how government regulation and funding mechanisms are shaping retrofit strategies across all sectors.


Learn from live projects:

Hear practical case studies from those delivering scalable retrofit programmes—what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next.


Explore solutions:

Discover cutting-edge materials, digital tools and technologies enabling energy-efficient and low-carbon retrofits.


Collaborate with decision makers:

Connect with clients, contractors, consultants, housing providers, local authorities, and asset owners shaping the future of retrofit delivery.


Spot opportunities:

Gain insight into the retrofit project pipeline and how to position your organisation for success in this fast-growing sector.

Whether you're working on large-scale housing upgrades, public estate improvements or commercial office retrofits, CN RE:NEW is your opportunity to get ahead, stay informed, and drive impact.
