The Construction Industry's Premier, Independent Tech Conference

For more than five years, The BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference has been the premier gathering place for people on the frontlines of finding and implementing leading edge technology in the Construction Sector. Participants can network, learn about the latest trends in construction technology and gain data-driven insights from BuiltWorlds Analysts garnered via surveys of actual usage by construction companies.  Nowhere else do industry technology adopters get the level of objective, comprehensive, and actionable insights on emerging technology adoption that they get at the BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference.

New, Larger Venue in 2024!

After two sold out years, the Construction Tech Conference is moving to a new, larger venue Willis Tower in 2024 to accommodate the growing demand for professionals in the AEC space to gather and discuss the future of the industry. The new venue will afford 50% growth in attendance, expanded food and exhibitor spots, and more space for the roundtable discussions associated with our expanding research track offerings.

Experience the benefits of networking and learning in unique ways you can only find at BuiltWorlds events.

The BuiltWorlds Benchmarking Program aggregates proprietary data on the industry's technology utilization of today. During this event, you will have the opportunity to see this data presented by BuiltWorlds analysts detailing what technology is leading the industry forward and how best to integrate the solutions into your organization. This data will be presented at various points during the event, as well as at our exclusive Research Track Forum Meetings. This event will also host the first meeting of our new Tools, Equipment, & Robotics Research Track.
