14th Annual General Contractors Roundtable Recap

Last week, we hosted our 14th Annual Contractors Roundtable Event, bringing together seven outstanding general contractors: HENSEL PHELPS, The KYA Group, Layton Construction, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., PCL Construction, Skyline Construction, and W.E. O'Neil Construction. The energy in the room was high, the conversations flowed, and connections were made and renewed throughout the afternoon.

It was a great opportunity for members and contractor representatives to discuss business opportunities, strengthen relationships, and enjoy meaningful industry engagement. Thank you to our event sponsors, Kantiv and OpenAsset, as well as to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s Roundtable such a success!
