Advancing Construction Technology: Celebrating a Decade of Innovation and Integration in the Built Environment
In an industry that balances physical materials with cutting-edge innovation, construction technology has become the backbone of transformation. Now in its 10th year, Advancing Construction Technology continues to lead the way in shaping the future of construction project delivery. Set to take place at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, United States, this influential forum unites over 350 professionals committed to optimizing productivity, profitability, and performance through emerging technology.
As a contractor-driven and independent event, the conference focuses on practical implementation rather than hype—empowering attendees with real-world knowledge, field-tested case studies, and a strong peer-to-peer learning environment. Whether you’re in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), Building Information Modeling (BIM), or responsible for on-site field tech adoption, this event promises actionable insight and measurable outcomes.
A Decade of Progress: How the Conference Evolved with the Industry
Since its inception, Advancing Construction Technology has grown into a leading platform for innovation leaders in construction. The forum’s 10th anniversary is not just a milestone—it’s a reflection of the evolution happening within the industry. Over the past decade, construction firms have moved from experimenting with digital tools to integrating them into every layer of project delivery.
This year’s agenda builds on that foundation, focusing on how to scale technology adoption across teams, departments, and business units, ensuring that investments deliver not only technical value but also ROI and team-wide buy-in.

Technology with Purpose: Focusing on Value, Not Volume
One of the event’s core messages is that technology should serve purpose, not popularity. With so many solutions competing for attention, construction teams must develop a strategic lens for evaluating tools. It's not about implementing more—it’s about implementing smarter.
At the conference, firms share how they’ve achieved success by:
Defining clear technology goals
Involving end users early in the decision-making process
Building standardized frameworks for rollouts
Aligning tech decisions with organizational strategy
Tracking performance metrics and learning from failure
This pragmatic approach ensures that participants walk away with a blueprint they can apply immediately to existing and upcoming projects.
