ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Borne from a decade of successful technology summits, the Associated General Contractors of Missouri (AGCMO) has successfully reimagined its annual technology conference entering year two of a full-scale, industry-wide two-day event focused around bringing together owners, architects, engineers and contractors under one roof to learn, share and collaborate.
Where Technology Transforms Industry™ promises to bring together all areas and levels of the A/E/C industry to help drive change and innovation through the use of technology, and empower all attendees from the newbie tech user to the most sophisticated IT practitioner.
AECTechCon™ 2025 takes place on May 7-8 at the St. Charles Convention Center, offering a meaty agenda of industry-specific tech expertise via dynamic keynote sessions and customized breakouts that will appeal to a broad audience of A/E/C industry professionals including business developers, project managers, superintendents, HR pros, C-suite leaders and others.
“Last year’s conference showed us all how a small, regional technology conference transforms into a Midwest destination,” said Alex Belkofer, CM-BIM, senior VDC director, virtual design & construction at McCarthy Building Companies Inc. and AECTechCon™ co-chair. “It’s exciting to see how this annual conference has evolved and expanded its mission of digital transformation and technology practice. We are striving to connect people from office to boots-on-the-ground, at all levels and meeting people where they are at in their technology journey.”
The information-rich technology conference is entering year two of the AECTechCon™ brand, growing to more than 400 attendees with over 40+ expert speakers and 60+ sponsoring organizations.
Travis Byerley, director of facility and technology solutions for PARIC Corp./Cooperative Building Solutions and conference co-chair, says AECTechCon™ 2025 will cover four dedicated anchor tracks: BIM & VDC, information technology & cybersecurity, emerging technologies & innovation, and safety & workforce development.
“This is truly an opportunity for full immersion in terms of gaining actionable, executable tech information,” Byerley said. “We’re offering the chance for attendees to ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ and customize their conference experience. There will be generous opportunities for education, collaboration and networking.”
Len Toenjes, president of AGCMO, says AECTechCon™ 2025 is geared to individuals with all levels of technology experience and awareness.
“No doubt, technology is a driving force in how the industry is delivering design and construction services,” Toenjes said. “We guarantee there will be practical, employable information for you, even if you’re not a ‘tech person.’ This is a wonderful opportunity and a neutral territory in which to learn about the latest drivers in the A/E/C technology space. It’s a practitioner-driven, not product-driven conference.”
The conference’s affordability is another plus. Early bird registration is just $350 per person from now through Dec. 31.
The Conference Sponsors of AECTechCon™ 2025 feature two industry-leading technology companies in Autodesk and Procore. Construction News and Review is serving as the conference’s exclusive media sponsor.
