Project Delivery Fundamentals
Sessions designed for those who are new to alternative project delivery. Learn which procurement models may work for your facility projects, and what considerations must be made when evaluating different project routes.
Keynotes
Hear how providers have successfully brought recent projects to completion. Project leaders walk us through the history of their projects, upgrades, lessons learned, and upcoming developments.
