As events go, the inaugural outing for the Smart Buildings series of conferences was not without its technical hitches. Hosted at one of British Land’s latest developments in Paddington Central, it became apparent as the event wore on that the building was still undergoing some final cosmetic touches. Drilling on adjacent floors and a stilted fire alarm mid-way through one of the presentations served as occasional interruptions to the busy programme, but the speakers and organisers continued with practised ease. The space itself, while serving as an immersive example of a Smart Building in action, felt at times somewhat cavernous for the delegation of one hundred or so attendees. Despite these few small teething issues however, this ambitious event succeeded in delivering a full day of insightful presentations and debates, with a highly engaged audience of industry experts.
