Because the way we build shapes how people live. The Exchange by Dave Cooper LIVE brings together the people, ideas, technologies and conversations shaping better ways to design, manufacture, finance and build. The Exchange explores practical solutions that help create communities that are more attainable, resilient, efficient and sustainable.
Located within the Modular + Advanced Building Technology Zone at The Buildings Show in Toronto, December 2 to 4, 2026, The Exchange offers first-hand access to the people, products and ideas transforming how projects are planned, financed, manufactured and built.
Building on Dave Cooper LIVE's extensive network across construction, housing, manufacturing, technology and real estate, this initiative reflects a shared commitment to advancing Canada's built environment while expanding The Buildings Show's focus on innovation, collaboration and creating better outcomes.
Dave Cooper LIVE is a veteran owned media platform exploring the future of the built world through interviews, on location tours and live events. Founded by award winning host and industry advocate Dave Cooper, it connects leading practitioners, policymakers and academics across the entire built environment.
By spotlighting innovation in industrialized construction, building technology, workforce development and decarbonization, the network advances more resilient homes, buildings and communities. At The Buildings Show, that mission moves onto the floor, live.
An exceptional opportunity for professionals of the built environment to immerse themselves in the latest innovations in off-site construction, modular building and sustainable building practices, including an expo pavilion experience dedicated to off-site, modular and prefab products and services, at the heart of Canada's largest building and construction event.
Live interviews, fireside discussions and panel conversations with leaders across construction, real estate, manufacturing, sustainability, infrastructure and building technology. Broadcast from the floor, streamed to the world.
