Leaders’ Exchange
The Leaders’ Exchange sits at the heart of the Foundations and Frontiers Forum. Often described as the construction industry’s version of the Davos Economic Forum, it brings senior leaders from every sector and stakeholder group together in one room. They take part in focused discussions aimed at building alignment and commitment to action.
Held on the evening before the Forum, the Leaders’ Exchange is by invitation only. Key ideas and outcomes from these discussions are shared with all Forum attendees the following day.
