Nearly 200 modular construction leaders from across the world gathered in Brussels for MBI’s inaugural World of Modular Europe event in October, 2024
For nearly 42 years, the Modular Building Institute (MBI) has provided professionals in the commercial modular building industry a place to network, exchange ideas, learn from experts, discuss issues, promote new products, and receive well-deserved awards and industry recognition.
Kicked off by an outstanding keynote presentation from Erlend Spets, an associate partner at McKinsey & Company, World of Modular Europe 2024 offered attendees two full days of education, networking opportunities, face-to-face meetings, and even a factory tour and product demonstrations.
“Belgium is the hub of the EU,” said MBI Board President John Buongiorno during the conference. “It just seemed right for the first [World of Modular Europe] event that we do it in Brussels. We have people from all over Europe here. We have a group in from Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, even from Canada and the U.S. When you bring in all different sectors from different parts of the world, as different as our markets are, what we’re find is: they’re still a lot of the same challenges.”
“Everybody came here to share information,” he continued. “It’s all about creating a better industry.”
