Show Your Light!
From first downs to touch downs, bring your best to our industry. Our keynote speaker and expert communicator, Jen Mueller, will show you how to draw on sports to break the ice and build professional relationships with colleagues and business partners. Jen literally wrote the book on “talking sporty.”
For more than twelve years, the Professional Women in Building (PWB) Council has recognized, honored, and supported
women in the construction trades, opening new pathways toward continued innovation. The second part of the conference program will include an industry panel of women discussing their own journeys in the construction industry. Please attend our annual
conference and help us celebrate leaders making a difference in our communities, with countless educational,
networking, and mentorship opportunities.
We love to network! It'll be so great to see everyone in-person. Networking starts at 10 a.m. when doors open, so be on time to get a full chance to catch up.
