Leading economic forecast event for commercial construction brings together top industry thought leaders
HAMILTON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dodge Construction Network today announced that it will host a virtual event for its 84th annual Construction Industry OUTLOOK conference on Nov. 15, 2022, 1pm – 5pm ET.
WHAT:
This year’s leading economic forecast conference for commercial construction is titled, “Digital Transformation in the Construction Industry: How To Leverage Change And Win Business As Uncertainty Mounts.”
As industries everywhere prepare for what could be a recession, it is critical that professionals engage with the tools available to them to empower workforces to work more effectively and efficiently.

How can it both take advantage of opportunities and weather challenges?
The annual OUTLOOK event is an authoritative resource for construction executives, industry leaders and sales and marketing professionals. The market forecast event offers critical insights into the U.S. economic and construction landscape for the coming year.
