Tech Built World returns to tackle oversaturation in Construction Tech - from the sheer volume of tools flooding the market to choice paralysis, AI hype confusion, and why adoption remains frustratingly low. We'll explore the different flavours of tech available (big tech platforms, ConTech startups, everyday tools, proprietary in-house solutions, and even the informal tech people use on site) and why the industry struggles to take the plunge despite it being simpler than most people think. Our guide is Alex Sivokhin, Director and BIM Manager at VirTex and member of buildingSMART International. Alex will share his experiences from both sides of the fence - building automation tools and implementing tech at major firms like Bilfinger Engineering. He'll give us insight into why the value of tech isn't being appreciated and what it takes to cut through the noise. Don't miss the Discussion Time where everyone shares their thoughts on adoption barriers, cultural resistance, and whether we're overthinking this whole thing. We're eager to hear your perspectives. Here's the essentials: Futureheads, Work.Life, 120 Aldersgate St, EC1A 4JQ Doors Open: 6:30pm ⏰ Event Start: 7:00pm Get ready for an evening of honest conversations, fresh connections (new and familiar faces always welcome) and brilliant food and drinks thanks to Futureheads ❤️❤️❤️. ### **THE THEME- CONTECH IS... OVERSATURATED?** Construction tech is drowning in options. Big tech platforms, ConTech startups, everyday tools, proprietary solutions built by in-house innovation teams, and even the informal tech people cobble together on site. The sheer volume is staggering. The problem? People aren't adopting any of it. Choice paralysis has set in. AI hype adds to the confusion - everyone's shouting about what their tools do but nobody knows what AI means anymore or which tools deliver real value versus empty promises. The industry is too big, too lumbering, and culturally resistant to change. People think adoption is complicated when it's simpler than they realise. The value isn't being appreciated because results take time and the effort feels overwhelming. So we're stuck. Bombarded with options but frozen in place. The tech exists but nobody's brave enough to take the dive and start using it. Join us as we explore whether ConTech is genuinely oversaturated or whether we just need to stop overthinking and start doing. **\-\-\- THE SPEAKER \- ALEX SIVOKHIN \-\-\-** Alex Sivokhin is the Director and BIM Manager at VirTex, where he creates BIM automation solutions for clients globally. He works closely with architects, engineering consultancies, real estate developers, and manufacturers. As a Product Domain Volunteer at buildingSMART International and Mentor at Women in BIM, he advances digitalisation and supports emerging talent in the AEC sector. Alex is fourth generation in the construction industry. Before moving into BIM and tech, he worked hands-on as a land surveyor, structural engineer, and site engineer. He later became a BIM Coordinator and Project Manager at Bilfinger Engineering (a major industrial services firm with 30,000 employees and €4.5 billion revenue), implementing BIM technology and automation on large-scale infrastructure projects across Central and Eastern Europe. His experience spans from the ground up - from site work to building tech products and driving adoption in traditional construction firms. Through his weekly newsletter Digital Construction Digest, he tracks the AEC digitalisation landscape and shares insights on automation, AI, and industry trends. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksandr-sivokhin/ **\-\-\- ABOUT TECH BUILT WORLD \-\-\-** Tech Built World, the world's first construction tech specific meetup for product people, aims to highlight ConTech's potential and human-centricity. Unlike other meetups, we feature a keynote speaker and workshop-style discussions to foster informed dialogue so all attendees always get an opportunity to contribute their hot takes. Despite the construction industry's significant size and profitability, its slow tech adoption presents disruption opportunities. Our community of Product Managers, UX Designers, Developers, Product Owners and Founders are people passionate about accelerating change in ConTech. Even if you're unfamiliar with ConTech, you're welcome to join us in envisioning the future - exciting eh?!

In-person and online - this is the February 2026 **London Webflow Meetup**! New to Webflow, experienced, freelance, in-house, or just curious, everyone is welcome. Curious what it’s like? [Watch the one-minute teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_eZDWFEuDU). ️️ **SCHEDULE** **6.15pm:** drinks + mingle **6.30pm**: welcome and announcements. **6.45pm:** presentations 1️⃣ **[Brandon Horvatić](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonhorvatic/)**[,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonhorvatic/) Founder, Yes Chef Studio - **Start now, figure it out later** Brandon Horvatic is the founder of Yes Chef Studio, a Webflow agency partnering with funded startups and high-growth SaaS teams across the UK, US, and Europe. What began as freelance Webflow projects has grown into a focused studio model built around long-term partnerships, structured builds, and helping marketing teams move quickly as their companies scale. In this session, Brandon shares lessons from building and growing an agency in the Webflow ecosystem - offering an honest look at what it takes to move from freelancer to founder, and how thinking differently changes the trajectory of your work. 2️⃣ **[Alessia Sannazzaro](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessia-sannazzaro/)**, Co-founder & Managing Director, Code & Wander - **Open, closed, or broken? Designing Webflow component systems for real teams**. Most Webflow component systems break at the editor level. Too open, and consistency disappears. Too closed, and teams work around the system instead of with it. In this talk, I’ll break down how we think about open vs closed components, how BLOCKS supports both, and how adapting a framework — rather than following it — leads to calmer builds and happier teams. This is a practical, experience-led look at designing systems around people, not patterns. **8.00pm**: social at a local pub ** LOCATION** Beyond, Level 2, **The Bower Building**, 207 Old St, London EC1V 9NR Main building entrance closes at 7pm! 1 minute walk from Old Street tube station.

Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we're tackling two vital topics for every WordPress professional! This month, we're exploring the future of WordPress accessibility documentation and hearing a candid story of business survival when AI disrupted traditional traffic sources. Whether you're building inclusive websites or rethinking your business model in the age of AI, these sessions offer practical insights you can act on immediately. **Date:** Thursday, 26 February 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM ⬅ **EARLIER TIME** ️ **Cost:** Free (Registration Required) *** **Session 1: WordPress' accessibility documentation is getting a major overhaul. What's new?** **Speaker:** Rian Rietveld ([rianrietveld.com](https://rianrietveld.com/)) Rian is an experienced web accessibility specialist from the Netherlands who has consulted for WordPress agencies and written guidelines for the Dutch government on accessible web forms and applying WCAG. Currently, she focuses on teaching and writing documentation, including a major update to WordPress' accessibility resources. During 25 years of working as a web accessibility specialist, Rian noticed the biggest hurdle to creating an accessible web is the lack of knowledge. People struggle to find reliable information, code patterns, rules and testing methods. Together with Joe Dolson, she started working on the WP Accessibility Knowledge Base: up-to-date, well-maintained information about delivering accessible work and proper testing. With clear do's and don'ts, practical examples, and easy-to-follow documentation. Find out about their progress, how you can contribute, and how the documentation on make.wordpress.org will benefit from this project. *** **Session 2: When AI Killed My Traffic, Humans Saved My Business** **Speaker:** Rodolfo Melogli ([Business Bloomer](https://businessbloomer.com)) Rodolfo is an author, WooCommerce expert and WordCamp speaker who has worked as an independent WooCommerce freelancer since 2011. His goal is to help entrepreneurs and developers overcome their WooCommerce nightmares. He loves travelling, chasing tennis and soccer balls and, of course, wood-fired oven pizza. For years, traffic was the engine of Rodolfo's business until it wasn't. AI changed discovery faster than he expected, and the impact was immediate. This talk tells the story of having to pivot fast: moving away from dependence on search and toward owned relationships. He'll share how building and nurturing communities, both online and offline, became the new foundation. What worked, what failed, and what he'd do differently today. If your WordPress business relies on visibility you don't control, this talk offers a realistic look at what happens when that visibility disappears and how to recover. *** **Schedule:** **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Rian Rietveld **7:30 PM** – Short Break & Networking **7:45 PM** – Session 2: Rodolfo Melogli **8:30 PM** – Social & Wrap-Up *** ** Help Us Grow the Community!** Know someone who'd benefit from these sessions?

In February, we are taking a look at what is happening with agentic AI and data pipelines Join us in lively Hoxton as we learn from Carmen's and Laura's learning from real-world experiences with agentic AI systems in data pipelines. We are running this event in collaboration with **[Sahaj Software](http://www.sahaj.ai)**. **6pm:** Doors Open **6:30pm:** Talks Start ️The Speakers️ ***Beyond the Hype: Practical AI for Real-World Data Engineering Time Sinks*** ***Carmen Mardiros, Solution Consultant at*** ***[Sahaj Software](https://www.sahaj.ai/)*** ***([Carmen's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmenmardiros/))*** ***Abstract*:** While the world is obsessed with agentic self-healing ETL pipelines, data engineers everywhere still spend hours upon hours on the same tasks as before -- debugging failing tests, exposing new fields into pipelines, navigating schema changes, QA-ing data and business logic. In this session we'll look at some practical examples from the trenches around how to shrink those time sinks using AI coding assistants so that you can spend more time on what really matters. Examples are dbt-based and Claude Code but accompanied by core tenets applicable to any stack and any coding assistant. ***Carmen's Bio:*** Carmen Mardiros has worked around analytics and data for 15 years. Her experience covers areas such as Data architecture design and implementation and has worked in roles that cover Data Strategist, Lead Data Engineer, Data Warehouse Architect, Tracking Developer, Product/Project Manager, Technical BA, Insight Analyst, Data Modeller. ***Agentic AI for Data Pipelines: Our Good, Bad, and Ugly Learnings*** ***Laura Bogaert, Co-Founder and COO at [Tracer.cloud](https://www.tracer.cloud/)*** ***([Laura's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bogaert/))*** ***Abstract:*** As teams move from single models to agentic systems, data pipelines present a uniquely hard production challenge: failures are distributed, context is fragmented, and root-cause analysis is slow. This talk shares practical learnings from building agentic AI systems for troubleshooting real-world data pipelines, including what worked, what didn’t, and why data ontology and context management are critical. Attendees will leave with concrete insights into designing agentic architectures that actually hold up in production. ***Laura's Bio:*** Laura is a co-founder of [Tracer.cloud](http://tracer.cloud/), where she works on building agentic AI systems for alert investigation in production data pipelines across industries. She started her career at McKinsey as part of the fintech and biopharmaceutical team working on AI strategy and M&A. She holds a BSc from University College London and a MSc from Oxford University. **8pm:** Talks finish. We have the space for networking until 9pm. There will be a short break between the talks.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
