Conference History
Our conferences are where the people actually doing the work come together.
Each event brings together the leading owners, general contractors, architects, engineers, and trades who are authentically implementing lean design and construction — not just talking about it. These are practitioners sharing real project experience: what worked, what didn't, and what they're doing differently next time.
The networking opportunities are unmatched. Whether you're an owner looking to adopt lean delivery on your next project, a GC refining your Last Planner implementation, or a trade partner exploring Takt for the first time, you'll find your people here — learning alongside those at the forefront of the industry.
