Early-Bird Registration Ends Sunday Jan. 31 for AGC's Annual Convention

Join us March 17-20 in Orlando for AGC's 91st Annual Convention and Pavilion. As the construction industry continues to battle tough economic conditions and legislative challenges, AGC's Annual Convention provides the only opportunity for contractors to get all the latest information on economic forecasts, rules and regulations, and best practices, and to hear first-hand from others on what they are doing to survive and thrive in this challenging environment. Over 30+ sessions will offer a variety of continuing education credits at this year's Convention (detailed at http://convention.agc.org/.) If you need credits, then you won't want to miss AGC's Convention.

  • Architects and design professionals - earn LUs toward your mandatory continuing education requirements.
