CIAT AGM & Conference 2026 - booking now open

This is an opportunity to connect with colleagues, engage with Institute business and hear from professionals working across the built environment.

The afternoon will begin with a networking lunch, giving you the chance to catch up with friends and colleagues and make new connections across the CIAT community.

The AGM will provide members and affiliates with updates on the Institute's finances, annual business and activities, strategic priorities and important resolutions requiring member votes. The conference programme will then turn to professional practice, technical insight and the latest developments shaping our sector.
