Why attend?

AJ Retrofit Live 2025 will be the fourth year we’ve united over 350 architects, their built environment colleagues, clients and lawmakers to identify the best retrofit and circular economy practices.

We will continue to discuss the transformational changes we need to see to upgrade the built environment in line with whole-life carbon principles and explore a range of topics that are crucial to the retrofit conversation.

• Based on delegate feedback, we’ll be focusing more heavily on case-study-led content that offers detailed insights into project success stories
• Hear from past winners of our Retrofit & Reuse awards, giving updates on progress made since the win
• 20 vendors, innovators and materials suppliers will be showcasing how they can support you on your mission to embrace the principles of creating sustainable buildings
• A diverse mix of speakers from the UK and across Europe
• Uniting a network of over 350 passionate professionals in the built environment, from architects to clients, to lawmakers,
• As a historic Grade II listed venue occupying the site of the former Whitbread’s 18th Century brewery in East London, The Brewery aligns with our retrofit and sustainability principles, utilising waste minimisation practices, carbon-neutral programs, and a reliance on renewable energy sources

Why is CPD important?

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditation helps to raise industry standards and benchmarks in line with increasing globalisation and consumer demands. Organisations from across industry sectors use CPD accreditation to add value to their training.

Architects

CPD is a huge part of the architectural industry, with professions such as Architects, Designers and Planners all required to undertake annual CPD requirements. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) states that all Chartered Architects must complete 35 CPD hours per annum and half of these need to be structured. Architects must also dedicate 20 hours to ten mandatory RIBA core curriculum topics, which include: health, safety and wellbeing, sustainable architecture and architecture for social purposes, to stay registered.

Construction & Building Maintenance Professionals

Construction is a fast-paced industry with technology continuously developing, and a need to keep the profession up-to-date on workplace changes and education for all professionals aligned with building and construction. This includes a wide range of professions such as home builders, commercial developers, architects, building merchants, contractors, and suppliers. Undertaking regular CPD is a requirement for a number of professional bodies, one such body is the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and their members are required to complete 35 hours of CPD each year. An organisation that can deliver CPD-accredited training is very desirable to ambitious industry professionals in this particular sector.

If you are collecting CPD hours, you can log 7 hours by attending AJ Retrofit Live.
