  Presentation and Panel: What generational change means for the workplace and the future of leadership.
  There are powerful new forces at work in the modern workplace, a dynamic driven by the intersection of disruptive technology and a new generation of employees who were raised differently, have different values and different expectations. Managing this change and embracing not just about survival, but what will make the difference between firms that excel and those that struggle.

  Presentation: A 360 degree look at BIM
  Working within building information modeling (BIM) software is exciting and challenging for most construction companies. It’s easy to pick a software, jump in, and start modeling, but it’s important to take the time to plan the right BIM workflow for your business. This presentation will discuss the fundamental steps from estimating, pre-construction, detailing, all the way through the fab shop to ensure a successful implementation of BIM.
