Why should I attend?
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) talks or lectures aim to give attendees an overview of an interesting subject or to find out about new developments without going into too much detail. These informative events are usually directly related to the construction industry.
What will I achieve?
The talks provide an opportunity to learn about a new area or receive an update on a particular topic. They usually focus on one subject and previous talks have been as diverse as assessing problems in ancient buildings, aviation pioneers, sustainability and noise control.
What can I expect?
The talks usually consist of a presentation followed by a question and answer session. The events take an informal approach and provide an excellent opportunity to network over some refreshments. The talks are arranged by regional centres and are led by CIOB members or external speakers who are experts in the specified area. They are usually held in the evenings.
Who should attend?
CIOB talks and lectures are open to members and non-members who want to learn about a new topic or be brought up to date with new developments. Previous delegates have ranged from senior management to graduate trainees.
