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. This virtual, two-morning conference includes 2 keynotes, 5 breakout sessions, an expert panel discussion, and 2 focused workshops, all designed to spark interactions between attendees. Each participant will receive a personalized CliftonStrengths analysis.
