About the Conference
This conference is the best way for highway and utility contractors to keep ahead of their competition on the issues that are and will be impacting their respective markets. This year, the meeting will feature several joint sessions on topics with broad crossover between the markets, with planned sessions on the political outlook for construction after the 2010 midterm elections, increasing efficiency in highway and utilities projects, understanding the new cranes and derricks rule from OSHA, the future of CM@Risk contracting, and how social media impacts construction companies and projects. We also have special separate tracks for each market to allow each group to get deeper on the issues affecting their specific markets. Who Should Attend?If you are engaged in any aspect of constructing, designing, or planning a highway or utility project and you are a general contractor, specialty contractor, service/supplier, attorney or any other important stakeholder already engaged in these markets, this conference has a place for you. If you are interested in learning more about the transportation and utility markets, this conference is a great place to begin your learning experience. AGC chapter leadership and staff are also invited to attend and be a part of this great meeting.

November 2009 MeetingThis past meeting, contractors and related businesses involved in every aspect of highway and utility construction gathered to hear about and discuss issues and trends in these markets. New to this conference was the establishment of separate Utility and Highway tracks that converged with issues that affect both types of contractors. Topics covered in the Highway Track included High Speed Rail and Pavement selection, while topics in the Utilities Track included Water Supply and Financing, and Alternative Project Delivery. Joint topics included horizontal virtual construction and its growing place in the market, green infrastructure, and an update on legislation and legal decisions that affect the highway and utility markets – including the re–authorization of SAFETEA–LU and the creation of a Clean Water Trust Fund.
