Be Competitive, Compliant, and Cost-Effective in Today’s Environment; Learn how at the 2012 AGC Contractors Environmental Conference

The 2012 AGC Contractors Environmental Conference, June 7-8, 2012, in Arlington, Virginia, is your chance to network with your peers and learn from more than 30 speakers the latest environmental strategies that are saving contractors money, improving operations and taking firms to the next level.  AGC’s conference is a one-of-a-kind opportunity because it was developed by contractors for contractors.  The environmental compliance and green construction topics on the agenda were selected by contractor members of the AGC Environmental Forum Steering Committee, many of whom will provide case studies to supplement the educational sessions.  The conference schedule is jammed packed with technology demonstrations, plenary sessions of importance to all AGC divisions, and breakout sessions designed to provide information specific to individual construction markets.  Plus, we have organized a separate afternoon workshop on June 8 (co-located with the conference) to further address environmental issues specific to federal building contractors. Attendees will walk away with the tools, tips and need-to-know information to help their construction companies be competitive, compliant and cost effective…guaranteed!  Secure your spot today and register online.
