About the webinarJCT is delighted to welcome delegates to the JCT Povey Lecture 2020, streamed for the first time as a live webinar.
This year’s presentation is from Dr Damien Buie, group technical director, Laing O’Rourke.
The construction industry has been sitting on the cusp of change for too long and we are now at a crossroad where COVID-19 has forced us to re-evaluate. At the same time, a digital revolution is raging across all industries, and modern methods of construction are facilitating new ways of working. In order to create a more resilient construction sector that offers clients certainty, what needs to change?
Dr Damien Buie will discuss how harnessing the power of data can provide transparency and insight, as well as maximise standardisation of design, delivery, and contracting to eliminate needless complexity and risk. However to implement successfully all of us across the industry have a role to play.

FAQs
Here is a list of answers to frequently asked questions about the live stream
Can I physically attend the event as I normally do?
Unfortunately not. Due to COVID restrictions the lecture will be solely delivered over a live stream from our partner company’s East London studios.
Why is the event a live stream?
Clearly the situation with COVID is a huge reason, however we hope that doing it by live stream opens the event up to viewers that wouldn’t normally be able to attend the physical event due to geography and their work location.
Will I receive an email confirming my registration?
Yes, once you have registered, you will receive confirmation that your place has been secured, plus other information about the event such as the live stream URL and testing instructions.
How can I ask questions for the Q&A session?
There will be a text interface under the video stream in which you can ask questions at any point during the main lecture.
Do I need to set a password ?
No, you don’t. Once you have registered, you’ll be sent an email containing the website URL to click and access on the day of the lecture.
Can I test my device/connection before the day of the event?
Yes, you can and we strongly recommend this for ALL users. There will be very limited technical assistance available on the day of the event. Two weeks before the live broadcast, we will send out a test link to all register users and will provide technical assistance to resolve any issues with viewing the test video.
What link do I need to see the live stream on the day?
The weblink will be in the email sent to all registered viewers. You will be able to access the live stream over phone, tablet and desktop devices without having to download any additional software or apps.
