Are you ready for BUILDEX Alberta 2023?

BUILDEX events have been providing essential continuing education, new product sourcing and networking opportunities for Alberta's building and construction industry for over 20 years.

The all-new Main Stage featured new ideas, community partners and keynotes, product demonstrations gave attendees a hands-on look at game changing tech, and there were countless opportunities to network and trade ideas with industry peers.

This year, BUILDEX is BIGGER and better than ever. With even more seminars, workshops, product demos, innovation showcases and exhibitors, it's your source to stay up to date on current trends and issues in the built environment.

BUILDEX Connects Webinar Series

The recent wildfire tragedies in Western Canada and other climate change related, natural disasters have served as a painful reminder of how communities must be prepared for when they happen. To explore opportunities to design urban infrastructure to help absorb the effects of future climate events impacting towns and cities, BUILDEX Connects is excited to present our upcoming webinar, titled Climate Resilience: Unlocking Cities for Disaster Relief, which takes place on October 12th from 12:00pm – 1:00pm PST.

This interactive webinar will emphasize the importance of collaboration and knowledge transfer among professionals and municipalities. The speakers will assess the risks of future climate data for the most common natural disasters, the challenges related to emergency evacuations, the suitable conversions of third spaces into emergency housing space, and more.
