BSRIA has revealed the speakers for its Briefing at The Brewery on 14 November this year.
The theme of this year's event will be Smarter Ways to Better Buildings and it will review how services in the built environment increasingly require integrated solutions. There is a need for designers, builders and installers to work more collaboratively and engage in new technologies and processes in order to supply the UK with the working solutions needed in a low carbon future.
Speakers will discuss how smart technologies are impacting the design, construction and operational phases of a building. The event will look at some of the technical and commercial opportunities and barriers combined with the psychological issues surrounding their introduction and implementation. In addition, it will focus on the need to make both engineers and users smarter to really deliver the expected results.

· Briefing Chair Julia Evans, CEO BSRIA (at time of event)
· Munish Datta, Head of Facilities Management & Plan A, Marks & Spencer
· Professor David Philp, Head of BIM, Mace Group, also Head of BIM HM Government BIM Task Group
