Digital workflows and automation are reshaping schedules and costs across construction projects. Digital Construction Week 2026 takes place on 3 to 4 June in London and brings together technology for architecture, engineering, construction and operations.
The event lists over 9,000 attendees and more than 150 exhibitors at ExCeL with a programme of 230 sessions and hundreds of speaker-led sessions. Exhibitors range from BIM software vendors to robotics and AI providers showcasing live demonstrations.
Practical information for Digital Construction Week 2026
Dates are 3 to 4 June 2026 at ExCeL London. The programme is organised into compact session blocks paired with demo zones so visitors can evaluate tools and suppliers efficiently. The official site publishes the exhibitor list and session timetable for planning visits.
Exhibitor and attendee profile
Exhibitors include BIM platform vendors, AI for construction firms, robotics integrators and suppliers of digital operations solutions. Attendee profiles focus on architects, engineers, construction managers and asset operations teams, which helps accelerate technical evaluation and procurement decisions on site.
Programme highlights and demos
With 230 sessions across two days the programme covers technical presentations, use case discussions and live demos. Demonstrations allow hands-on testing of data exchange, model interoperability and automated workflows under near-production conditions.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at DCW 2026
-
Set daily objectives: decide which technologies you need to validate and what decision you aim to make after the visit. Prioritise demos that show integration with your BIM and operational data.
-
Target list: use the exhibitor listing to pick vendors that meet interoperability and support requirements. Book demo slots in advance to secure technical time.
-
Technical pack: bring asset specifications and example BIM models for import tests and verification during demos. Request use cases similar to your projects.
-
Purchase criteria: prepare precise questions on total cost of ownership, licensing, maintenance and data migration. Ask for realistic timelines and resources for pilots.
Networking with a business focus
In a show of this scale quality of conversations matters more than quantity. Schedule 20 to 30 minute meetings with key suppliers and leave time to validate integrations with your technical team. Use sessions as a validation tool rather than passive listening.
