Building Innovation brings together government agencies, contractors, the private sector, architects, scientists, and more to improve the built environment. The theme of this year's conference is Thrive: Strategies for Resilient Communities. Education sessions will be centered around three main tracks:
Leaders
Looking beyond buildings to enable community-level resilience. Sessions will focus on developing policy frameworks, strengthening critical infrastructure, incentivizing the investment, and empowering the workforce behind functional recovery.
Practitioners
Establishing processes for resilient building. Sessions will focus on codes, standards, existing buildings, risk assessment and management, and sustainable design and construction practices.
Technologists
Highlighting current and emerging technologies for resilient design, construction, and planning. Sessions will focus on technology solutions, materials, use cases, and implementation and adoption.
