What past attendees of the AGC HR Professionals Conference and the Training & Development Conference are saying: Great Job! Opportunity to discuss best practices and ideas was invaluable! - Mike Durham, SPHR The program was very helpful to me as I am new to the construction field. - Gaye Landau-Leonard Excellent - Wish I had known about it years ago. - Hayley Sweeten It was wonderful to meet others dealing with the same issues. - Jennifer Glassburn Very good pace, excellent break-out sessions and good mix of professional speakers, AGC Chapter and contractor staff presentations. This was excellent! I can say with confidence that the information shared will be a model for the development of our company's programs! Thought provoking, with a lot of great ideas to help span the generational work force. Wonderful - gave a lot of good points to think about and implement. The conference was really great! I would have liked it if I was able to attend each and every break-out session - they were that good. It is by far one of the best opportunities to learn best practices facing training/education in the construction industry.
