Façade Access Design Engineering
Technical Seminar
Tuesday 10th March 2026 - Central London
FADE - Façade Access Design Engineering - Technical Seminar
This will be the third FADE Technical Seminar following the success of the event in 2024 & 2025. Façades themselves have been well-served with events for many years, but to our knowledge this is the only event focused purely on access.
FADE will be a technically-oriented event, aimed at professionals involved in all stages of projects, from initial strategy, through specification, design, supply, install, operation, maintenance and inspection.
Each speaker will bring an insight to their own specialist area of operations, and will give a valuable technical presentation.
This event will be non-profit, but there are obviously costs to be covered, hence tickets are £50 each. There will be opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors, please contact us for more info on this.
