We are thrilled to invite you to an inspiring week of exchange and discovery at the 43rd CIB W78 Conference on IT in Construction, where international experts will gather to explore the frontier between advanced computing and the pressing engineering challenges of our time.

This time, the CIB W78, jointly organised by The University of Strathclyde and IIT Delhi, takes place in New Delhi, a city where millennia of history meet a bold technological future. As India’s capital, New Delhi is a dynamic mosaic of heritage and innovation; home to awe-inspiring monuments, world-class research institutions, vibrant cultural districts and a flourishing tech ecosystem. From the grandeur of its historic architecture to the energy of its contemporary urban life, New Delhi offers an experience as diverse and stimulating as the conference itself.

CIB W78 is IT in Construction’s flagship forum for advancing digital innovation, research excellence and evidence-based policy in the built environment. Each year, it convenes the continent’s leading scholars, forward-thinking practitioners, industry trailblazers and policymakers to explore how computing can transform the way we design, build and manage our built assets.

Across four dynamic days, the 2026 edition will foster cross-sector dialogue, showcase cutting-edge research, and highlight emerging technologies shaping the future of construction. Our ambition is to cultivate a vibrant space where challenges are openly debated, collaborations are formed, and new ideas take flight.

Join us in New Delhi to contribute to the conversation and to help define the next chapter of IT Construction.
