FlexManager’s Conference Circuit: Where to Find Us This Autumn
Following a busy and successful spring conference season, the FlexManager team is gearing up for an equally exciting autumn schedule.
It's time for a Recap: CIF Digital Construction Summit 2025
This Tuesday (Oct 21st), we attended and exhibited at the CIF’s Digital Construction Summit, where tech leaders gathered to discuss the latest trends in the construction industry. We were delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit at the event, exploring how digital innovation is exploring the future of construction in Ireland.
After exhibiting and meeting with industry leaders, our Director of Business Development highlighted some of the key takeaways that he found from the event:Â
A hot topic seems to be building resilience against cyber attacks in construction. It is very relevant for us, since it highlights how digital transformation must go hand-in-hand with data protection and managing risks.
From Artificial Intelligence to driving towards a smarter, safer, and more sustainable delivery of projects, there were many keynote talks and roundtables throughout the day. Our Business Development Executive expanded on this experience:Â
Great to see some familiar faces from previous CIF conferences. I was able to sit in on a talk, and it seems like the digital space is expanding and expanding, really great to be a part of it. The buzz around topics such as AI and being proactive rather than reactive on-site. The industry is really pushing the ideology of thinking about safety as a first port of call.
We would like to extend our thanks to the CIF and the organisers of the Digital Construction Summit for hosting an engaging and thought-provoking event that continues to push the boundaries of innovation in Ireland.
We also appreciated connecting with so many forward-thinking professionals who are working to raise standards across the sector.
