The goal of the Building Strengthening Show is to bring together all stakeholders in the Repair/Strengthening Industry in one event, including Academics, Architects, Structural Engineers, Material Companies, Software Companies, and of course, Construction Companies. This event aims to play a catalytic role in the industry, where opinions will be shaped, concerns will be raised, and solutions will be discussed for various challenges. Additionally, it will provide an opportunity for networking among all the different specialties-something particularly rare, which will be done for the first time in a structured way and in all its breadth.
