The Americas Summit isn’t your normal Tech Conference. This three-day event is aimed at top-level, C-Suite executives in the construction tech space to share thought leadership and learn from peers in the industry about emerging trends and directionally where the industry is headed.

Since 2016, the BuiltWorlds Summit has been the premier gathering of senior level thought leaders from across the many industries that develop, design, build, and maintain our built environment. Collectively, attendees represent the pinnacle of the sector’s innovation ecosystem, and the Summit is the place to meet them and to hear about the most potent trends fueling the future of the industry. At the Summit, you will have the opportunity to meet the Mavericks; engage with leaders from across the Industry who took a different path and made a difference. Additionally, attendees will learn the latest from BuiltWorlds Research and Forums, and – most importantly – meet the other members.
