Discovery, Diversity, and Disruption: The Pathway to Your Leadership Growth
Today, more than ever, leaders are defined by their success in creating inclusive environments
and their ability to adapt to short-term and long-term disruptions. The Construction Institute’s 4th Annual AEC Leadership Conference will refresh your perspective on how to embrace DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and adapt to disruption. Our speakers include pioneers in DEI and the AEC industry, as well as an internationally-known trainer in adaptability. They will inspire you and equip you with the skills you need to create DEI programs that really work and to thrive in the face of change. Discover your key strengths, reflect on pathways to leadership, and help develop future leaders who will continue to transform the AEC industry. To maximize your experience, this year's virtual conference is scheduled over two mornings, giving you time to focus on your leadership without sacrificing the time you need to get your work done! |

On Day 1 of the Conference, nationally and locally-recognized leaders will speak to, and facilitate, discussion on how leaders – whether in senior roles or emerging into critical leadership positions – employ strategies to support DEI and eliminate perceived “blocks” to grow a successful, long-term culture. Experts from inside and outside the AEC industry will lead workshops and breakout sessions on DEI topics organized to spur real conversations, and action, during and after the conference.
