AGC is excited to launch its call for proposals for the 2022 AGC IT Conference for Construction Professionals, to be held at the Gaylord Chicago August 16-18, 2022. It was great seeing everyone back in person last year! We are staying in Chicago for a while and we look forward to seeing you again. Needless to say, we will be following the most up-to-date safety measures to make sure that our attendees, presenters, and sponsors can participate in a safe manner. We do realize though that some things have changed, and if a presenter would prefer to do a remote presentation, we will accommodate it. You will have a chance in the submission form to state your preference.

 

Our goal remains to offer attendees fresh, cutting-edge information to enhance their conference experience and provide great learning and takeaways along with premier networking and collaboration opportunities. We are working hard ensuring the conference brings to both presenters and attendees the opportunity to engage during and after the sessions.

 

All proposals must be submitted online using this link by Monday, April 4th, 2022. To submit a proposal you can register for free here, then select the 2022 AGC IT Conference for Construction Professionals Call for Speakers from the list of programs to begin building your proposal. You can submit a maximum of two proposals. If need to submit more than two proposals, reach out to us.

 

While the trial-and-error of managing a workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic was a big eye-opener for employers everywhere, one thing became strikingly clear: keeping frontline workers safe, productive and informed means keeping them digitally connected, global pandemic or not. Especially as hiring shortages and new virus variants threaten the slow tread of global economic recovery, maintaining a strong connection has become increasingly critical for these workforces. The construction industry is no exception.

From a business standpoint when investing in construction technology, many businesses get stuck on the question “When will we see our return on investment?” It’s a fair point. However, the return on value is an important aspect when considering business purchases.

Register today for Connected. Supported. Safe: An Industry United in Safety | February 24, 2022 | 2 p.m.

Safety is a bond that unites us. It’s our connection to each other, and to something bigger than ourselves. When we’re connected and supported, we are better able to help ourselves, and our teams stay present and focused on the job. The more we stay connected and committed, the more we can show up fully to support one another. And the more we feel supported, the safer choices we make, and the better work we deliver, leading to safer selves, safer teams, and safer jobsites.

In this webinar, Ken Aldridge, chairman of the Board for Aldridge, and Mike Burke, chief operating officer for Alberici, will discuss how we remain connected, supported, and safe as one united industry.
