2026 Throwback Thursday: CI Celebrates 50 Years
A celebration of CI's first meeting on May 14, 1976.

On May 14, 1976, the Construction Institute held its very first meeting at the University of Hartford, bringing together industry leaders to shape the future of construction in Connecticut.
Fifty years later — to the day — we’re gathering again.
Join us for a high-energy anniversary mixer designed to bring together young professionals, firm leaders, owners, contractors, architects, engineers, and longtime members for an evening of connection, competition, and celebration.
Whether you’ve been part of CI for decades or are just discovering us, this is your opportunity to connect across generations and help build what comes next.
