SUMMARY:Building For Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the devastating Southern California wildfires\, this summit stands as both a call to action and a catalyst for national resilience. The historic fires exposed systemic vulnerabilities shared by communities across the country—severely damaged buildings\, disrupted water and power services\, severed communications\, impassable roads\, and compromised fuel systems\, amplifying human and economic losses. These cascading failures underscore the urgent need to prioritize preparedness\, protect critical lifelines\, and invest in strategic\, coordinated recovery. \nUsing Southern California as a case study\, this summit aims to establish a national model for lifeline infrastructure resilience and smart capital investment. Federal\, state\, and local leaders will join utility providers\, researchers\, and resilience experts to chart a unified path forward\, one grounded in interdependence\, innovation\, and the modernization of policies\, codes\, and systems that support long-term recovery. \nOver two dynamic days\, the summit will feature compelling keynotes and a mix of collaborative and hands-on sessions. Day 1 will feature policy makers and executive leaders from both public and private sectors for strategic discussions focused on forward-looking policy frameworks\, including breaking down system silos\, overcome integration hurdles\, enhance data sharing\, and foster collaboration to accelerate recovery and build long-term resilience. Day 2 will offer practitioners an in-depth look at cutting-edge technologies and building science innovations that are transforming how we retrofit\, rebuild\, and future-proof the built environment.

SUMMARY:Building Innovation 2026
DESCRIPTION:At NIBS’ annual Building Innovation conference\, attendees explore challenges\, solutions\, new technologies\, groundbreaking strategies\, and more. There’s no other event that brings together government agency officials\, AEC industry professionals\, researchers\, community planners\, and innovative thinkers – to improve the built environment. Through curated panels\, collaborative workshops\, and federal program showcases\, Building Innovation explores how coordination across sectors can unlock scalable solutions to infrastructure challenges—transforming insight into action. \nBuilding Innovation 2026 will build upon momentum from NIBS Building for Tomorrow Conference held in January 2026 which convened federal\, state\, and local agencies to advance cross-sector policy alignment and explore how system-wide collaboration can drive long-term resilience across America’s lifeline infrastructure systems. Over two days\, curated panels and expert-led sessions will showcase innovations in digital delivery\, building codes\, housing\, capital investment strategies\, and adaptive design. The conference will also spotlight two critical focus areas: Systems of Systems\, which examines how interconnected infrastructure affects resilience at the national scale\, and Modular Offsite Construction\, which highlights efficient\, scalable building methods aligned with NIBS’ emphasis on applied technologies and forward-looking building science.
