Day 1 Schedule
Equipment and Robotics Forum
This session is closed to members of the BuiltWorld's Equipment and Robotics Research Track or by special invite only
Venture Forum
This session is closed to members of the BuiltWorld's Venture Research Track or by special invite only
Infrastructure Forum
Pioneering innovative approaches to Alternative Project Delivery (APD) that transform how stakeholders collaborate on infrastructure projects. This forum will highlight cutting-edge methods such as progressive design-build and alliance contracting, which promote early stakeholder engagement, shared risk, and streamlined decision-making. Through case studies and practical examples, participants will explore how these models drive efficiency, transparency, and improved project outcomes in the public sector.
