Join us at Conneqtr Fest — Celebrating 5 Years of Connection

Join us as we celebrate five years of Conneqtr!

What started as an ambitious idea has grown into a thriving community of clients, partners, innovators, and supporters shaping the future of the construction industry. This milestone is not only about looking back, but about celebrating the people, connections, and collaborations that made it possible. And of course, it’s also about what comes next.

On Thursday, 20 August 2026, we will bring together the Conneqtr community for inspiring talks, fresh insights, meaningful conversations, valuable networking opportunities, and an enjoyable culinary experience. All set in the beautiful surroundings of Meise Botanic Garden.
