Why Attend?
The New York construction market is one of the largest and most active in the nation, and in the world. Two leading institutions of global reach and local prominence have come together to launch an annual symposium to explore and discuss the impact and integration of new and emerging technologies in the construction process.
With a record high of over $1 billion in VC funding in the first half of the 2018 directed towards Construction Tech space, this topic has garnered much attention in the media, in project strategy and field operations. The application of technology and talent is as important to owners and sponsors of large real estate and infrastructure projects as any other critical aspect of planning, production and project delivery is.
Hosted by Columbia University and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, this symposium will feature leading owners, builders, scholars and practitioners currently field-testing and developing some of the industry’s leading technology solutions.
