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.
Dave Cooper LIVE's leading voice in modular and panelized construction innovation, alongside new technologies, products and solutions addressing housing demand, productivity and sustainability goals across all building types.
Exclusive sessions on industrialized construction and off site manufacturing, building technology and digital transformation, decarbonization and resilient communities, workforce development, and the future of housing delivery.
Where ICI professionals discover residential opportunities, residential builders learn from commercial innovation, and cross sector partnerships are formed. Developers, builders, manufacturers, suppliers and technology providers, all in one place.
Four of eight sessions taking place at The Exchange across December 2, 3 and 4. The remaining sessions will be announced here.
The housing crisis will not be solved one custom building at a time. See how a licensable, manufacturer agnostic mid-rise design lets developers skip a year of blank sheet design and deliver affordable housing faster, while keeping their own architect and engineer of record.
Artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented demand for new infrastructure while exposing the limitations of traditional building processes. This conversation explores how AI is reshaping the way buildings are designed, engineered, delivered and operated.
Innovation only matters when it creates measurable business value. This executive conversation examines what it takes to move new approaches to building from promising ideas to commercially viable, scalable solutions, including the realities of capital, risk and market adoption.
Housing demand, climate resilience, energy needs and emerging technologies are changing what society needs from the built environment. This conversation explores the choices, challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of buildings, and what the world needs us to build next.
