The CIB Board was welcomed by Bart Ingelære to Buildwise’ offices in Brussels for its meeting from 8th-11th October 2024.
The Board’s business included:
- Strategy sessions on the future business plan of CIB and how to further improve membership value and growth in membership and other revenue.
- Approval of reports from the standing committees on Programme, Future Leaders, Membership & Communications, and Administration.
- Approval of progress by Purdue University in planning for the CIB World Building Congress 2025 to be held at Purdue University in May 2025, for which registration is now open and the deadline for papers is November 18th – papers can be submitted even if an abstract was not.
- An open consultative session with the Coordinators of CIB’s Working Commissions and Task Groups, which was extremely well attended despite the difficult time of day particularly for those in Australia and New Zealand.
- Meetings and visits to Buildwise laboratories and projects.
The final meeting of the Board in the current triennium up to 2025 will take place as an online-only meeting from 10th-12th March 2025.
