Future of Work 2026

Brought to you by Title Sponsor Revizto, Future of Work: Powered by People, Driven by Technology is a two-day construction leadership conference built for the people who actually deliver work. Hosted inside a purpose-built fabrication facility, this is a rare chance to step into a space designed for modern construction and spend two days focused on what matters most right now: high-performing teams and technology that delivers measurable results.

Expect practical, field-relevant insights, candid conversations, and implementation lessons you can take back to your projects immediately. The program is intentionally designed to balance on-stage content with real connection time, including opportunities to meet speakers, engage with industry partners, and see live demonstrations of tools and workflows that are reshaping how work gets done.

• Keynotes and feature talks from proven industry voices, including Wally Adamchik on leadership and jobsite culture, and Charlie Dunn on Lean that actually changes outcomes
• A confirmed panel on mental health and resilience in construction featuring Wally Adamchik, Mandy Gill, and Angelo Suntres.
• A careers and workforce session featuring leading industry associations focused on pride in our industry, clearer pathways, and stronger alignment
• A technology-focused day built around real-world implementation, including partner discussions, training opportunities, and jobsite-ready takeaways
• A high-energy networking mixer with local celebrity Alex Chen and sponsor showcase designed for meaningful conversations, not “trade show wandering”

• Construction leaders, forepersons, superintendents, project managers, and operations teams
• VDC, BIM, digital delivery, and innovation leaders
• Owners, developers, and GCs who want real examples of what is working now
• Trades and fabrication partners looking to improve predictability, quality, and flow
• Anyone responsible for workforce development, mentorship, and building strong teams

This is not a typical conference venue, and it is not a theoretical program. It is a working environment that brings the industry closer to the tools, workflows, and leadership practices shaping the next standard in construction. You will leave with new connections, sharper perspective, and practical ideas your team can implement quickly.

Additional speakers and agenda details will be released as they are confirmed, check out our event website futureofwork.me for more.

Construction is tough on people. Long days, tight schedules and constant change put real pressure on mental health, relationships and how we show up at work. This candid panel looks at what it actually feels like on the ground and what leaders can do to support healthier, more resilient teams.
