We want the 2024 iteration to build on the momentum achieved from the last two editions which took place in Amsterdam. Prepare to witness the convergence of leading international circular economy manufacturers and solutions with the UK's most visionary architects and specifiers.
Was pleased to be a part of the event, such an important topic and to dedicate an entire day to pulling the industry together was really pretty special. I loved the variability across the day – short and longer sessions, PPT presentations and more informal, single speakers and panels, case studies and big thematic topics, breakouts and full group. Felt just about perfect
So packed with insights about whether real estate is a “singular act of authorship” or whether the “creation, modification, and extinction of building is itself part of our cultural heritage.” Wish I could have bottled it all. Huge congrats to you and the team for the bravery and insight to put together such an event dedicated to retrofits. Looking forward to more.
I really enjoyed it. It's such a difficult area because the mountain to climb is so enormous but many of the sessions were thought-provoking and inspiring and really got to the heart of it.
I can put the content of the conference to direct use in my practice work
Diversity within the panel brought out various aspects of retrofit and this was thought provoking.
I have been overwhelmed by the positive response to this initiative. Conferences like yours are huge catalysts for action, so I am delighted that it was so successful.
Thank you for a fantastic event. The quality of the content, the expertise of the speakers, and the conversations surrounding the talks were all exceptional. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated being a part of such an outstanding conference, and I’m very glad I was able contribute.
After staying most of the day and speaking with quite a few people, the energy felt palpable and the calibre of the speakers was excellent! I couldn't take notes fast enough. Thanks for hosting a fantastic first AJ Retrofit Live!

LGC presents its inaugural in-person Net Zero conference in 2024, providing an excellent opportunity to explore innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges hindering local government from achieving Net Zero targets.
This event's key draw is its openness, offering a platform for those leading the drive to Net Zero within councils to come together to discuss challenges and share solutions.
Given the severe issues and pressures faced by many councils, the pursuit of Net Zero targets has become more critical than ever. This urgency requires council leaders and climate change officers to convene in person, address key challenges, network, and discover viable solutions.
