Congress Spotlight: The National Owner Panel
It’s almost time for the 25th LCI Congress! Today we’re highlighting the always-popular National Owner Panel, taking place Wednesday, October 25, at 9:45 a.m., shortly after our Opening Keynote address.
For owner attendees, the panel is a great opportunity to engage on shared challenges and acquire highly relevant insights. For other attendees, the panel presents the perfect chance to gain knowledge to inform your bids and your work for your clients.
What to expect
The panel will feature a discussion between three influential leaders in their industries. They’ll share the owner perspective on eliminating waste from the design and construction process to improve project delivery, as well as context on their programs, backgrounds, and challenges.
You’ll learn more about their experiences in areas including:
