Stage TALKS

In addition to our main stage speaker sessions, the Building and Living Expo will feature a series of relaxed Pop-Up Talks held at individual exhibitor stands throughout the day.

These informal sessions are designed to give guests the opportunity to engage directly with suppliers, builders, and industry experts in a more intimate setting. Whether you're curious about the latest design trends, product innovations, or how to bring your vision to life, these bite-sized talks allow for open conversation, tailored advice, and a closer look at what each exhibitor has to offer.

It’s the perfect way to ask questions, explore options, and connect with the professionals who can help make your building journey a success.

Keep an eye out for the Pop-Up Talk schedule at the event and drop in when you see something that sparks your interest.
