The biggest 7th Annual Advancing Preconstruction Event 2022 happened on June 12-13 in Las Vegas. This annual event was focused on strategies for tackling inflation and supply chain risk, including the knock-on challenges of accelerated design and early procurement.
Top industry contractors and design firms that have already worked with their client will share their real-time experience on encountering the following challenges:
-
Uncertainties

The primary agenda of this event was to help construction professionals get more projects and reduce risks during the supply chain and labor crises by using technology, collaboration and process innovation.
