The FIS Conference and Innovation Awards brought together industry professionals yesterday for a day of insight, innovation and collaboration, exploring the key opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the finishes and interiors sector.

Discussions covered a broad range of topics, including the construction outlook, regulation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, future skills and supply-chain collaboration, highlighting the importance of working together to drive positive change across the industry.

FIS would like to thank all speakers, panellists, sponsors, exhibitors and delegates for their valuable contributions, thought-provoking discussions and commitment to sharing knowledge and challenging established thinking.

Congratulations also go to all the winners of the FIS Innovation Awards, recognising the ideas, products and initiatives helping to drive progress across the sector.

While the conference provided an opportunity to reflect on current challenges and emerging opportunities, its lasting impact will be measured by what happens next: turning ideas into action, strengthening industry relationships and delivering meaningful improvements through collaboration.

Under the theme Product, Process, People: Raising the Bar Together, the event reinforced the importance of continued innovation and collective action in building a stronger, more sustainable and forward-thinking industry.
