A Return to In-Person Conferences

Help Create Future AGC Experiences With Your Feedback

As we steadily recover from the restrictions and closings caused by the pandemic, AGC of America is planning its broader return to in-person meetings and the opportunities created at such events to build relationships and learn from each other.

In an effort to help deliver the opportunities for construction executives and aspiring leaders to advance their careers. AGC has put this survey together to determine what educational and networking experience could best help them achieve their goals.

AGC recognizes many factors go into justifying the time away from home/office, and we would greatly appreciate your feedback on your conference needs and the value of in-person meetings. In particular, your feedback will help us craft a new in-person conference that will appeal to a broad cross-section of aspiring construction leaders.

Completed respondents may opt into a drawing for a $500 Visa gift card.

Deadline to submit is 7/16/2021.
