REBUILD Expo 2027 – Madrid, Spain

What to expect

REBUILD 2027 is a major professional event focused on the transformation of the building industry through industrialised construction, digitalisation, sustainability, advanced materials and emerging technologies. Hosted at IFEMA MADRID, the event brings together the different parts of the building value chain, including architects, developers, construction companies, engineers, interior designers, installers, manufacturers, technology providers and other industry professionals.

The 2027 edition is being positioned around the industrialisation of construction and the need to move from traditional building methods toward more efficient, technology-driven and sustainable models. The organisers highlight industrialised construction, digitalisation, decarbonisation, circularity, innovation and new professional profiles as important themes for the sector. REBUILD also aims to demonstrate how new materials, construction systems and digital tools can improve productivity while responding to environmental and housing challenges.

Visitors can expect a combination of exhibition areas, conferences, specialist forums, technology demonstrations, startup activities, networking opportunities and innovation-focused presentations. The event is designed not simply as a product exhibition but as a business and knowledge platform where professionals can compare solutions, meet suppliers, discover new technologies and discuss the future of construction.

The official REBUILD site describes the event as a platform for more than 30,000 professionals and more than 5,600 new building projects, creating opportunities for manufacturers and solution providers to reach potential buyers and specifiers. The 2027 edition is also expected to feature more than 750 exhibiting firms and around 700 experts, according to the organiser’s current promotional information.

Key speakers & keynote speakers

The final 2027 speaker roster has not yet been published. REBUILD has opened its call for speakers and is inviting professionals with innovative projects, technologies, materials and experiences that can contribute to the transformation of the building industry.

The official website currently highlights leading professionals from the latest completed edition, including architects and specialists such as Benedetta Tagliabue, Julen Pérez of Waugh Thistleton Architects, Alessia Galimberti, Juan Coll-Barreu, Iñigo Ortiz Diez de Tortosa, Martín Lejarraga and Luigi Centola. Other highlighted experts include David Barco, Óscar Miguel Ares Álvarez, Anna Guanter and David Martínez.

These names should be treated as previous-edition speakers rather than confirmed 2027 speakers. REBUILD’s speaker call indicates that the forthcoming programme will continue to seek experts from areas such as housing, hotels, retail, healthcare, offices and institutional buildings, alongside specialists in industrialised construction, sustainability, digitalisation, design and innovation.

Conference sessions & tracks

The Advanced Architecture and Construction 4.0 Congress forms the core of REBUILD’s conference programme. The organiser structures its content around both building segments and professional profiles, allowing visitors to select sessions relevant to their responsibilities.

The main professional and sector tracks include:

• Advanced Architecture Agenda
• Construction 4.0 Agenda
• REBUILD BIM Forum
• ConTech Startup Summit
• Engineering Summit
• Facility Management Summit
• Installers Forum 4.0

Sector-specific forums include housing, hotels, offices, retail, public administration, rehabilitation and socio-healthcare. Material and technology-focused content includes Artificial Intelligence, Industrialisation, Sustainability, Wood, Steel, Concrete, Ceramics, innovative solutions and construction systems.

This structure allows an architect to focus on design and BIM content, a developer to concentrate on housing and industrialisation, and an engineer or contractor to focus on technical systems, materials, digitalisation and construction efficiency.

Session times & schedule

The detailed 2027 session-by-session schedule has not yet been released. The official REBUILD website is currently using its previous programme as a reference while the new edition is being prepared.

Exhibition halls & floor plan

The 2027 floor plan has not yet been published. REBUILD’s official website currently provides the previous floor plan as a reference while the new exhibition layout is prepared.

The latest completed floor plan used Halls 8 and 10 and incorporated dedicated auditoriums, theatres, networking areas, VIP facilities, meeting rooms, street-food areas, information points, charging stations and visitor services.

The layout demonstrates the event’s multi-zone format. Rather than separating the exhibition and conference completely, REBUILD integrates exhibitor areas with stages, meeting areas and specialist content. This makes it easier for professionals to move between product demonstrations, technical presentations and business meetings.

Visitors should consult the official 2027 map once released because booth locations, halls and networking areas can change from one edition to another.
