Delivered in the Concrete Connect Seminar Theatre, this session brings together policy, specification, digital innovation and real-world delivery to explore how net-zero ambitions are being translated into measurable outcomes on site.

The session covers:

• Progress on low-carbon concrete and the UK roadmap to beyond net zero

• Advances in alternative cement technologies using UK-sourced materials

• Data-led approaches to mix design, carbon tracking and project delivery

• A panel discussion exploring practical implementation across the value chain

Whether you joined us at the NEC or couldn’t make it this year, this is a valuable opportunity to catch up on one of the key discussions shaping the future of the concrete sector.
