What better way to celebrate National Women in Construction Week than to send FMGI’s incredible Implementation Manager Christina Henssge to take on NY Build!?

From March 8-9, Christina attended the NY Build conference, where networking and education were in abundance. Senior-level decision makers, buyers and influencers from the AEC and real estate industries convened to connect with the 29,000+ developers, general contractors, architects, realtors, government agencies and construction professionals in attendance.

While there was a significant amount of valuable information shared, Christina’s key takeaways, include:

• There is SO much room for innovative growth!
• Construction companies everywhere share the same concern – how to find the most efficient way possible to document, automate and innovate in the construction industry?
• The construction industry has been the slowest to adopt technology, but many young, new people are joining the industry and are revamping this thought process.
• There is a lot of movement to bring equality for women in this male dominated workplace.

Some of the most compelling presenters Christina learned from include:

• Jason Spector, Executive Director of Field Operational Services – Holt Construction
• Nil Dutta, VP Business Development – Parsons X
• Carrie Hunger, VP Business Development – Sensera Systems
• Elizabetta Barzi, Digital Integration Consultant – STV
