Digital Construction Week returns to Excel London on 3–4 June 2026 at a moment when the built environment is no longer debating whether digital transformation matters, but how it is governed, deployed and made accountable at scale. London Construction Magazine is pleased to confirm a formal media partnership with Digital Construction Week 2026, supporting the event’s role as the UK’s leading forum for digital construction, engineering, design and operational delivery.

This partnership reflects a shared focus: moving beyond technology as presentation and toward technology as infrastructure that is embedded, governed and measured against real-world delivery outcomes.

From Tools to Systems: A Shift in Digital Construction

Digital Construction Week has evolved alongside the industry itself. What began as a showcase for emerging BIM tools and digital workflows has matured into a platform addressing systemic questions now facing clients, designers, contractors and operators.

Across BIM, AI, automation, robotics, data environments and sustainable solutions, the common challenge is no longer availability of technology, but integration. How digital systems interact with procurement, regulation, assurance, safety and long-term asset performance is now central to delivery risk. This shift is visible in the 2026 programme focus: operational deployment, accountability and the connection between digital decisions and physical outcomes on site and in use.

An Event Anchored in Delivery Reality

Digital Construction Week 2026 brings together over 9,000 attendees, more than 150 exhibitors, 230 sessions and 400 speakers from across the digital built environment. The audience spans architecture and design, construction and engineering, infrastructure delivery, asset ownership and operations, reflecting the full lifecycle where digital systems now operate.

Live demonstrations, technical sessions and case-led discussions provide practical insight into how organisations are applying digital tools to improve project certainty, workforce capability, collaboration and sustainability. Importantly, the event continues to position digital construction as a delivery discipline rather than a standalone innovation function.

Why London Construction Magazine Is Partnering with DCW 2026

London Construction Magazine’s editorial focus is grounded in operational interpretation, examining what policy, regulation, investment and technology actually mean for delivery teams, clients and regulators.

Digital Construction Week aligns naturally with this position. The event increasingly addresses:

• Governance of digital systems in regulated environments 
• Integration of AI and automation into safety-critical workflows 
• Accountability across the Golden Thread of building information 
• The transition from project-based data to asset-based intelligence 
• Digital skills as an operational capability, not a marketing layer

Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to clarity, evidence-led discussion and practical insight, supporting industry professionals navigating a rapidly changing delivery landscape.

Call for Speakers: Shaping the 2026 Programme

Applications to speak at Digital Construction Week 2026 are now open, with submissions closing on Friday 20 February 2026. The call for speakers invites contributions from across the built environment, particularly those able to demonstrate real-world application, lessons learned and measurable outcomes from digital initiatives.

This includes project leaders, designers, contractors, asset owners, technologists and regulators working at the interface between digital systems and physical delivery.

Looking Ahead

As digital construction becomes inseparable from construction itself, platforms like Digital Construction Week play a critical role in shaping shared understanding across the industry. London Construction Magazine will be supporting DCW 2026 through editorial coverage, analysis and amplification of key themes emerging from the event. Further updates, programme highlights and speaker insights will be published in the lead-up to June 2026.
