Delivering Impact: Highlights from Our Shard Event 2025
Last year we welcomed over 120 professionals from across the industry, to The Shangri-la The Shard, bringing together a powerful mix of operators, developers, design consultants, engineers, and technology specialists, with consultants making up 58% of attendees.
What truly set the event apart was the quality of the audience and the conversations that followed. Attendees weren’t just there to listen - they were there to engage, share insights, and challenge thinking. The diversity of expertise created an environment where ideas flowed, connections were built quickly, and meaningful discussions led to real opportunities.
At its core was the launch of the Liquid DENCO CDU, which provided a strong focal point and generated significant interest throughout the day.
A key highlight was the expert panel discussion featuring Jonas Caino, Business Development Director at FläktGroup, alongside Jiten Patel (Vantage), Alistair Barnes (COLT), Anna Chrabol (WSP), and Obi Onuora (Black & White Engineering Consultancy). The discussion sparked insightful conversations and reinforced our position at the forefront of industry innovation.
The event was a highly engaged, high-value gathering of industry leaders. And it set a strong benchmark for what’s to come next.
