Closing out the conference on Friday, November 13, this high-energy thought-provoking Keynote presentation will provide a foundational discussion of the underlying drivers of imminent exponential change, including: a post-COVID reality check; what, when, and why exponential changes will occur; what happens when all of these transformative changes converge; “X” factors; and what the next 5 to 25 years will look like as a result. Additional insights into the likely future of various commercial real estate asset classes such as industrial, office, retail/entertainment, mixed-use, multi-family, and mission-critical/data center will be offered as well.
Kasselman commented: “I’m excited to join the all-star line-up for this event, and to be able to close it out with what should be essential dialog for construction industry businesses and professionals everywhere.”

This year at the 2020 Constructech Technology Days Conference we offering a wealth of information in which we are calling “On-the-Go Content” to help you see the rapid changes that are directed at your specific specialty and target corporate objectives.
We are delivering a new conference, creating innovative opportunities for attendees to explore the latest technologies and advances from the finest people in industry focusing on the IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), BIM (building information modeling), digital twin, machine data, and more.
Technology Days will tackle the issues facing the built environment from infrastructure, utilities, energy, to connecting and building smart cities, stadiums, sustainability, resiliency, manufacturing, you name it, as these champions of tech explore every aspect of sustainability, carbon reduction, and resiliency.
The first day of sessions focuses on the global need for diversity, equality, and encouraging greater STEM in the building and manufacturing space. It will also explore the global trends ranging from prefabrication, new materials and processes, underlying design assumptions, BIM, intelligent infrastructure, urban mobility, and more.
Day two focuses on the advancement of technology that is inspiring an industry and the next generation of workers to leverage technology to achieve sustainability objectives. In many cases this means building a vision for those companies that believe in taking on a moonshot dream for achieving sustainability and climate goals through the use of traceability and tracking technology. To build tomorrow’s future we will continue to leverage the worker of the future, new AR/VR, drones, and other tools to reshape our urbanization, and so much more.
