Program Update

If you have already registered for this event, please note that the program has been updated. Due to a change in scheduling, we have transitioned from the originally advertised keynote speaker to a panel discussion featuring respected veterans and workforce leaders from across the construction industry and veteran-serving organizations.

We are excited about this new format, as it will provide attendees with a broader range of perspectives and practical insights on attracting, retaining, and developing veteran talent in the construction industry. The interactive panel will also include an audience Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and ask questions relevant to their organizations.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an informative and engaging Lunch & Learn.
