Missed out on the live insights from the Construction Tech Conference this past July? Watch the insightful keynote session video recording from the Construction Tech Conference. Join us in exploring the dynamic intersection of innovation and construction as Anita Woolley Nelson, the Chief Strategy Officer of Skanska USA Building, delves into strategies for harnessing the power of technology while prioritizing our people.

Wolley-Nelson unveils a roadmap for construction firms to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge tools and solutions into their established workflows. By placing a strong emphasis on upskilling employees and fostering a people-centric approach to technology, Nelson demonstrates how Skanska not only effectively manages risk but also elevates project efficiency, safety, and predictability. We were thrilled to have her insightful an inspiring presentation open the Conference that proved to be a valuable project for a huge range of industry movers and shakers.

The Construction Tech Conference serves as the premier platform to comprehend the profound impact of technology across all facets of construction, spanning pre-construction, on-site operations, and office processes. In just two days, this event united pioneers in technology adoption, established solution providers, and emerging innovators, offering an immersive experience that encapsulated the rapidly evolving landscape of construction technology.

“Ultimately, the biggest challenge that we have is that we are in a certainty business. When we talk about what we are most afraid of – we are most afraid of losing control. We are most afraid of being uncertain when we sit down with that client. We are thinking about adding something to the burden of the people in the field. We don’t want to make their jobs harder and ultimately we don’t want to spend more money. But at the same time when we think about all those failures, those are the failures that we have to make a little bit of room for.”
