Transformative Event Filled with Connections, Growth, and Celebration in Vibrant Nashville, Tennessee
As a woman with over two decades of experience in the building industry, I have come to cherish the opportunities that empower and celebrate women in construction. In my pursuit of personal and professional growth, I have discovered an event that perfectly encapsulates the essence of progress, learning, and camaraderie within the industry. The Women in Residential+Commercial Construction Conference (WIR+CC) is a transformative gathering that unites women from diverse sectors, fosters knowledge-sharing, and facilitates lasting connections. With its upcoming edition scheduled for October 25-27 in the vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee, this conference promises to be a memorable experience for all attendees.
What sets the Women in Residential+Commercial Construction Conference apart is its collaboration between two influential industry events: Pro Builder and Pro Remodeler's Women in Residential Construction Conference, and Building Design+Construction’s Women in Design+Construction Conference. This merger reflects a shared vision to create the most impactful event for women in the design and construction realm. By combining the strengths and expertise of both conferences, the WIR+CC amplifies its capacity to inspire, educate, and empower women in the field.
At the WIR+CC, attendees can expect an immersive three-day experience filled with a wide array of activities designed to enrich their professional and personal lives. From enlightening keynote presentations and interactive workshops to engaging roundtable sessions and panel discussions, the conference offers a holistic approach to learning. These diverse formats ensure that participants benefit from a range of perspectives, drawing insights from leaders in home building, remodeling, commercial development, and architecture.
With over 300 women from various construction sectors attending, the WIR+CC creates a vibrant platform for networking and forging valuable connections. By bringing together professionals from residential and commercial domains, the conference allows attendees to explore the best of both worlds. The event provides designated tracks for residential and commercial focus areas, enabling participants to tailor their experience and dive deep into topics that resonate with their interests and expertise.
As the conference unfolds in Nashville, the renowned "Music City," attendees can expect not only intellectual nourishment but also a vibrant atmosphere of celebration and enjoyment. The city's rich cultural heritage, legendary music scene, and warm hospitality serve as a fitting backdrop for forging lasting friendships and unwinding after days filled with enriching sessions. The Women in Residential+Commercial Construction Conference offers the perfect blend of professional growth and personal rejuvenation.
