Scaling the Ambition,
Delivering the Promise

The Retrofit Academy has been proud to partner with Futurebuild to launch the first National Retrofit Conference 2024.

On 5th – 7th March 2024, this three-day conference brought together the best minds to create a roadmap for retrofit that is clear, concise and collaborative. The conference shared best practices and gave practical solutions that accelerate progress toward a greener and more sustainable future.

The line-up of speakers included a collaboration of government ministers and senior policymakers, key leaders from cities and regions, and thought leaders from inside and outside of the sector, that have one collective mission – to decarbonise the UK housing stock.

“By showcasing leading innovations, fostering collaboration, and upskilling the workforce, the conference’ will share best practices and give practical solutions that accelerate progress toward a greener and more sustainable future. Together, we will scale the ambition and deliver on our promise of a decarbonised future.”
