Construction Tech Conference Overview:
Previously known as our Projects Conference, we covered the topic in three parts: pre-construction and estimating, project oversight and business intelligence, and smart jobsites. Additionally, we hosted a separate conference to explore advanced equipment and robotics. As these topics have increasingly converged, the Construction Tech Conference is intended to look holistically at how technology is influencing the way we build - from pre-construction through construction functions, in the office as well as in the field. It will be a lot to cover in two days, and, with so much happening, it will surely be an exciting event.
Leading technology adopters, mature solution providers, and upcoming technology solutions gather each year to take the pulse of trends across the industry at the BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference.

Welcoming Address
Fostering Innovation: Building a People-First Culture to Maximize the Potential of Technology
Venture investment in construction technology has grown 10x over the past decade. With so many new tools and technologies at our fingertips, how can construction firms strategically identify, enable, and operationalize these solutions into their existing workflows? Skanska USA Building’s Chief Strategy Officer, Anita Nelson, will discuss how upskilling our employees and placing people at the center of our technology strategy allows us to effectively manage risk, scale the use of new tools and add value to our projects through improved efficiency, safety, and predictability.
Keynote Speaker: Anita Woolley Nelson, Chief Strategy Officer, Skanska USA Building
Can You Know Your Project Will Succeed Before it Even Begins?
Running a successful construction project requires a coordinated, efficient effort in the field; however, it also requires significant planning and coordination in advance of breaking ground. This panel will explore innovative technologies that assist with project modeling & simulation in a way that provides more confidence in a contractor's ability to set up projects for success.
Morgan Hays, Sr. VP Product Management, ALICE Technologies
Steve Dell'Orto, Founder & CEO, ConCntric
Donald McMurtrey, Construction Technology Manager, Granite Construction
Networking Break
Is Technology Finally Disrupting Scheduling?
Construction scheduling technology has been dominated by a few (two to be exact) key technology solutions; however, new, innovative solutions have recently begun to establish a foothold in the industry as contractors continue to emphasize data analytics, ease-of-use, and AI/ML technology. This panel will explore evolutions in scheduling technology, and how we can more effectively manage project health, quality, and probability of success.
Michael Pink, CEO, SmartPM
Dev Amratia, Co-Founder & CEO, nPlan
Ricardo Nolasco, Director of Scheduling, McKissack & McKissack
Making Life Easier for the Bid Team
Though fax machines may not be the primary communication tool anymore, grueling takeoff activities, call sheets, and manual efforts still plague estimating teams across the globe. This panel will explore the increasing innovations in technology that allow bid teams to more efficiently perform takeoffs, identify subcontractors, and ultimately win the work. To do so, our panelists will explore Haskell's discovery of Togal.AI in a shortened case study.
Patrick Murphy, CEO & Founder, Togal.AI

The Data Boom: Why Doing Data Analytics Better is Critical
Jobsites have always produced massive quantities of data in numerous forms. As the industry continues to further digitize, the ability to capture and utilize that data has come squarely into the spotlight. This panel will provide insights into how Business Intelligence solutions have developed to meet the needs of contractors, and how they provide value to a variety of stakeholders, from the field to the C-suite.

Gregg Lund, Founder & CEO, Struxtion
Networking Break
Does BIM Need a Re-Brand?
The days of a brick wall between modeling efforts and the construction site are over. Digitization of processes has led to a collaborative environment where data from a model can be stored, transferred, and communicated in a variety of ways. This has then led to increases in collaboration between precon teams, project teams, Owners, and other key stakeholders. This panel will explore how technological evolutions have led to the increased use of, and in turn value of, building models.
