The day offers the opportunity to network with 120 delegates plus specialist exhibitors and will be rounded off with dinner with special guest speaker, architectural designer, writer & TV presenter, Charlie Luxton.

To complement ‘Evolving Concrete 2019‘ focus on how concrete can be visually appealing as well as offering a cost-effective, robust and inherently fire resistant surface, Invisible Connections will be showcasing their range of ‘unseen’ telescopic connection systems for stairs, landings, beams and columns.

Indeed, in a recent article, the architect and speaker Elaine Toogood, explores how high quality visual concrete core has been achieved in 20 Farringdon Street – an office development on the edge of the City of London which incorporates TSS and RVK Telescopic Stair Connectors. Aesthetics and the health and well-being of the occupants were fundamental to the building design. As a result, the central stair case was key to achieving vertical circulation throughout the building and the internal surfaces of the concrete core were left exposed for visual appeal.
