On September 15, 2026 at the iconic Empire State Building in New York City, BuildIT, together and our partners, ENR and Telos Advisers, convened a one-day ‘national gathering’ of transportation and infrastructure executives, from the public and private sectors, for a historic strategic planning session to discuss the challenges, and solutions to, three of the nation’s most significant issues as they relate to robust and sustainable national infrastructure development:

 

• Project Funding

• Utilization of Alternative Project Delivery

• Workforce Development

 

Together, we:

 

• Sharpened BuildIT’s National 20-Year Vision Plan so we are matching the moment & momentum

• Aligned on public/private sector project funding strategies and ecosystem support systems

• Accelerated efforts in construction workforce development and training
