The Associated General Contractors of Missouri (AGCMO) is now accepting speaker proposals for the 2027 Women of STEEL Conference, scheduled for Feb. 11–12, 2027 at Camden on the Lake in the Lake of the Ozarks.
Part of AGCMO’s broader commitment to workforce development and leadership growth within the construction industry, the annual Women of STEEL Conference brings together women from across Missouri for two days of professional development, leadership training and networking. Participants represent a wide range of roles within AGCMO member companies, including office administration, project management, field operations, executive leadership and company ownership.
“Women of STEEL continues to create meaningful opportunities for women in construction to develop professionally and build lasting connections,” said Charlyce Ruth, AGCMO Southwest Missouri manager and workforce development team member. “Each year we look for speakers who can share practical insights and real-world experiences that help our attendees grow both personally and professionally.”
AGCMO is seeking engaging speakers and workshop facilitators who can deliver interactive sessions that support leadership development, career advancement and personal well-being.
Based on feedback from past attendees, organizers are particularly interested in presentations focused on leadership in construction, leadership styles, psychological safety in the workplace, women’s health, health and wellness, situational awareness and safety and strategies for navigating difficult conversations and conflict resolution.
Conference sessions typically range from 60 to 180 minutes and are presented to audiences of approximately 75 to 100 participants. Selected speakers will receive complimentary conference registration and one night of lodging.
Speaker proposals must be submitted by June 30.
