Innovating Building Materials and Supply Chain

2025 Annual Conference

When

6.11.2025 - 6.12.2025

Where

1871 Innovation Hub at the Merchandise Mart 222 W Merchandise Plaza, #1212 Chicago, IL 60654

On the success of our New York Buildings Conference and our Offsite Conference in Raleigh Durham, BuiltWorlds is deepening and expanding its research in the area of building and infrastructure with a new conference in 2025 focused on innovation in the materials, themselves as well as the supply of those materials from factory to job site.

In partnership with world-leading accelerating, 1871, BuiltWorlds is expanding its research around innovation in building materials and supply chain.  From solutions that help promote sustainability and carbon footprint reduction to those that lower cost, ease the burden on labor, support advances in offsite fabrication and robotics, and lower the life cycle costs of maintaining structures, new technologies and techniques are helping address a wide range of problems and opportunities. In addition to advances in the materials themselves, this conference will look at how technologies are helping improve the sophistication in the approach to moving materials from factories to job sites in an industry that is notorious for late deliveries, incorrect and damaged materials, in a fragmented and inefficient supply chain.

Building Materials and Supply Agenda

Innovating Buildings Materials and Supply Chain will present general sessions and smaller group discussion and forum meetings specifically examining the latest trends and technologies in major building materials and systems, themselves as well as the latest systems and technologies in development to help industry select, purchase, deliver, track and manage those materials from the factory to installation and beyond. If you have an innovative technology or are a thought leader in this arena, apply here to speak at the conference.

The Official Conference Agenda Will be Presented Soon.
