There is plenty for you to learn and engage with in our official programme. Find above the INTERACTIVE PROGRAMME LISTING from the 4 days in Bella Center. (We suggest you use a computer for the best experience at this point. The mobile app will be available to gather your top picks in one place and a link will be sent to all participants a week before the congress starts).
Meet and engage with some of the most influential and innovative profiles in the built environment through the KEYNOTE DIALOGUES, explore talks from our partners THE OBEL AWARD, VELUX, REALDANIA and many more. Look forward to young voices taking the stage in the NEXT GEN sessions and learn the newest trends from the extensive SCIENCE TRACK, bringing you 250+ paper presentations within the 6 congress themes.
The congress programme runs from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm on Monday to Wednesday and from 9 am to 2.30 pm on Thursday. (More on the venue here) Other activities will take place outside congress hours in and around Copenhagen (Social Events, Tours, Side Events & Pavilion visits), so there is plenty to experience while you are here.
