NBO CONFERENCE 2026

October 1 - 2, in Copenhagen

Uncertainty, crises and rapid change have become the new normal. This year’s NBO Conference explores housing development at a time when the Nordic region is ageing, the world is growing more unpredictable, and expectations of construction and leadership continue to rise.

The conference takes place in Kødbyen – Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District – a raw, functional urban area that now serves as a backdrop for new ways of thinking about production, city life and community.

Expect “brain food”: sharp societal insights, Nordic perspectives and leadership reflections that challenge conventional thinking. We connect demography, climate, geopolitics and construction to what it ultimately comes down to—decisions, responsibility and delivery.
