Introduction


Digital processes have altered several industries over the past few decades, but the building industry has lagged behind. The industry continues to rely largely on labor-intensive physical labour, mechanical technologies, and tried-and-true operational practices.

However, design, operation, and construction responsibilities for buildings are likewise subject to progressive change and erratic material availability. Recent developments in computational techniques and robotic technology in architecture and civil engineering are pushing the creation and incorporation of digital solutions.

Utilizing and Incorporating digital technology is gradually enabling the construction sector to reach its full potential. Advanced digital design and construction robotics are now essential for sustainable construction.

The PROSPERA CONTECH SUMMIT 2022 will bring together experts from a variety of disciplines, including architecture, robotics, engineering, computer science, circular construction, computer vision, and more.

Together we will talk about the challenges for the future of construction with technological optimism and a focus on innovative methods that encourage circularity, prosperity and sustainability.

This exchange within the context of Prospera will help identify opportunities between the various participants for successful future collaboration.

  • Roatan is a beautiful paradise island. It has an international airport with direct flights from Miami, Houston, Denver, Atlanta and Dallas-Forth Worth.

    From other destinations, you first fly to San Pedro Sula.

    TIP: Book flights separately from your origin airport to San Pedro Sula, and from San Pedro Sula to Roatan. This can be a lot cheaper.

  • The island is overall very safe.

    We recommend you stay in one of the main areas: West Bay, West End, Sandy Bay, French Harbour, French Key, Pristine Bay, Palmetto Bay.

    Avoid walking alone on long, empty stretches of beach.

    Avoid Coxen Hole, Las Fuertes and neighbourhoods that seem sketchy on foot at night.

    You’ll always be fine by car anywhere on the island.

    You can move around freely if you keep the above in mind. The people on the island are overwhelmingly friendly and most speak English.

  • If you are willing to share accommodation with other attendees, we can book a place for you. This is often cheaper.

    If you want to book your own accommodation, we recommend the following options:

    Las Verandas

    Clarion Suites

    Beach Club

    Parrot Tree

    If you choose a different location, we may not be able to provide you with free transportation.

  • Your conference tickets fully cover the cost of transportation each day.

    A driver will pick you up from the airport the day before the conference (not if you come earlier).

    A driver will take you to and from the conference, and to locations that are part of the program.

    A driver will take you back to the airport on the last day of the conference, or the day after.
