Over A Decade of Expertise, Community & Innovation at Advancing Prefabrication
We went back to the industry and asked what you really need from Advancing Prefabrication 2027.
After speaking with over 100 industry experts from across the AEC value chain, the message was clear:
- More meaningful opportunities to connect
- Better access to the people pushing prefab furthest
- Greater representation across the markets driving demand
- Content that gets closer to the genuine challenges you’re tackling every day
So, we’ve reimagined the 2027 experience around exactly that.
Expect sharper content, market-specific conversations, greater representation across the prefab ecosystem, and more ways to connect with the right peers. Hear directly from leaders at DPR Construction, Gensler, Compass Datacenters, Cleveland Electric Co., Rosendin, JE Dunn Construction, U.S. Engineering, Cupertino Electric, HCA Healthcare, icon Mechanical, BILDT, and more, as they share what it really takes to deliver prefab-first programs at scale.
But the value extends far beyond what happens on stage.
Make the most of our dedicated networking opportunities and the time between sessions to pressure-test your strategy, benchmark your progress and tackle your toughest challenges with the people facing them too. Compare approaches with peers from your own discipline, learn what owners really need from their project partners, and build relationships across the wider prefab ecosystem that can help move your business forward.
You’ll leave Phoenix with clearer priorities, credible benchmarks, valuable new relationships and a peer-tested roadmap to turn your prefab capabilities into greater certainty, profitability, and competitive advantage.
Here’s A Snapshot of What Your Team Can Expect in 2027:
Insights From the Best
Hear from the people setting the pace for prefabrication today.
Our 2027 faculty brings together world-class innovators from across the entire prefab ecosystem - with 70% of speakers at Director level or above – to share the critical insights and strategies you need to take your own projects to the next level.
A Program Built for Every Market
For 2027, we’ve removed the standalone Market Focus Day and woven a much broader mix of market perspectives throughout the entire program.
With stronger representation covering all key critical markets (Data Centers, Healthcare, Multifamily & Commercial, Public & Federal, Education and Advanced Manufacturing), you’ll find more insights directly relevant to your projects and priorities – while still uncovering ideas and approaches you can take from other markets.
More Ways to Make the Right Connections
Networking in 2027 goes far beyond coffee breaks. New market-specific and discipline-specific networking formats make it easier than ever to find the people you really want to meet – whether that’s peers tackling the same challenges, or potential project partners working across your priority markets. Our brand-new ‘Client Collective’ experience brings clients into the heart of the conversation, creating a dedicated space to understand their evolving priorities and build relationships around future opportunities.
Add in drinks receptions and plenty of corridor conversations, and you’ve got a networking agenda with more opportunities than ever to make the connections that genuinely matter to your business.
More of the Prefab Ecosystem Under One Roof
Our 2 brand-new tracks dedicated to Volumetric Modular and Structures, Façades & Panelization open the Advancing Prefabrication community to even more of the people, perspectives and expertise shaping offsite construction. For specialists working in these areas, that means more dedicated content, relevant case studies, and opportunities to benchmark with trailblazers such as Permasteelisa NA | Benson, Clark Pacific, BILDT, and Epsilon Industries.
Looking Beyond Process to People
The future of prefabrication depends just as much on its people as its processes. Our new Workforce Development Forum brings together industry leaders and emerging professionals for a candid conversation around attracting, retaining, and empowering a more diverse workforce to support the industry’s trajectory of scale and complexity - followed by a dedicated drinks mixer to turn that discussion into new relationships, perspectives and opportunities.
Less Time in Your Seat. More Room for What Matters
We’ve created a more dynamic conference experience that gives great content, and great conversations, room to breathe. Expect shorter, sharper conference days packed with practical case studies and honest lessons learned, balanced with more time to digest what you’ve heard, continue conversations with speakers and peers, explore the expo, and make the most of having the entire prefab community together in one place.
No matter your prefab maturity, job title, company type, or market focus, there’s something for everyone at Advancing Prefabrication 2027. With six dedicated tracks, hands-on case studies, interactive discussions, and targeted networking, you can build an experience around the challenges, opportunities and connections that matter most to you and your team.
Take a look at the agenda and see how you can join 1000+ industry leaders in shaping the future of prefabrication in 2027.
