Advancing Construction Planning and Scheduling 2026

Memo

As projects become more complex, compressed, and exposed to labor, procurement, permitting, and third-party disruption, schedules are under more pressure than ever. No longer static plans, they are expected to manage delay risk, protect margin, and support confident decision-making. Yet, many teams still struggle with the gap between what the schedule shows and what actually happens on site. The 9th Annual Advancing Construction Planning and Scheduling is a contractor-led forum focused on closing that gap. Bringing together schedulers, planners, project managers, superintendents, and project controls leaders, the event is uniquely designed around real execution challenges, showing how schedules hold up under pressure, where they break down, and what leading teams do differently to make them work in practice. Across three days of practical case studies, interactive workshops, and peer-to-peer discussions, you'll gain the insight to improve schedule credibility, strengthen field alignment, and turn planning into execution. Walk away with proven strategies to reduce delay risk, apply analytics and AI with confidence, and build stronger, more aligned delivery teams.
