Digital SIG: Design and Build Conference 2025

Building on the sell-out success of the 2024 Digital Conference, the NI Digital Special Interest Group will host a series of four conferences in 2025. This first conference in the series will concentrate on Design and Build.

This interactive conference is aimed at professionals in nuclear design, siting and construction, and will provide delegates guidance and learning on how to maximise the use of digital to bring efficiencies, increased safety and manage risk and cost in your projects.  We will discuss the challenges and real-life benefits of digital.

We’ll then be joined by vendors and subject matter experts for our case study led sessions on SMRs, big nuclear new build, STEP and GDF. Each session will be followed by a panel discussion with opportunities for delegates to ‘ask the experts’.

CPD Certification

This conference is CPD-certified and all delegates will receive a certificate of CPD following the event. The Nuclear Institute is a CPD Provider and you can log this event as structured learning.
