AGC IT ONLINE CONFERENCE FOR CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS
 
   

Join us August 3-6, 2020, for the construction industry's number one conference for IT professionals.

Now in its 12th year, the AGC IT Conference provides attendees with a unique opportunity to engage with fellow construction IT professionals from around the country and learn first-hand how to better implement and utilize cutting-edge tools to make their organizations more productive and efficient.

Due to travel and meeting restrictions, this year's conference is going virtual, but we promise the same impactful speakers and dare-not-miss takeaways that attendees have come to expect, all without having to deal with the hassles of airplane travel, socially distanced receptions or awkward elbow taps.

The focus of this year's conference will be on Process Management for Productivity and the use of Emerging Technologies and VDC (Visual Design and Construction). For more information on the agenda, please click here.

We hope you join us for this program. Learn more about the conference and register here.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY NEWS
 
   
Construction has been one of the slowest industries to adopt technology. That’s partly cultural—folks in the industry like to solve problems with their own ingenuity.

TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY
 
   
Until recently, many smaller construction companies didn’t consider themselves a target for cybercriminals and fraudsters. Why would they be targeted rather than the bigger companies with greater assets?

Few industries are as well suited to protecting workers as the construction industry. Contractors are used to following complex and ever-changing safety rules and finding ways to make inherently dangerous work safe. The coronavirus has forced firms to change the way they operate to maintain that commitment to safety. AGC of America has developed a new website designed to highlight how the construction industry is working to protect construction workers and the public from the spread of the coronavirus. This new site: workingsafe.agc.org highlights many of the steps firms are taking to protect workers and includes photos of different examples of these practices.
