The 14th World Construction Symposium and the Sustainability Awards Scheme 2026, organised by the Ceylon Institute of Builders (CIOB), will be held at the Hilton Colombo, Sri Lanka on 10 and 11 July, bringing together the nation's and the region's leading minds in the built environment.
Jointly organised with the University of Moratuwa, the World Construction Symposium has become Sri Lanka's premier international forum where research, professional practice and industry converge. Now in its 14th edition, this year's symposium has attracted over 100 research paper submissions from around the world, reaffirming its reputation as a leading platform for advancing knowledge, innovation and professional excellence in the construction sector.
Complementing the symposium, the Sustainability Awards Scheme 2026 will honour organisations and professionals whose achievements are setting new benchmarks for excellence, innovation and responsible leadership within Sri Lanka's construction industry.
These landmark events provide an exceptional opportunity for researchers, academics, contractors, consultants, developers, policymakers, and students to gain insights from internationally recognised experts, discover the latest research and industry innovations, build valuable professional networks, and be part of the conversations shaping the future of the built environment.
