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?!

**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)
