The conference will feature keynote speeches, presentations, panel discussions, product demonstrations etc. from high level government representatives and key industry experts. Sector focused workshops and breakout sessions will be organized to allow for in-depth conversation and/or training. A networking reception will also be organized to allow for increased networking opportunities.

The 9th GNBF is also expected to receive a business delegation in the lightweight construction industry from Germany.
