Who should attend?

The Construction Conversation Breakfasts are designed for construction executives and professionals, including engineers, architects, surveyors, and equipment providers.

The Closely Held Business Briefings are for privately held business owners and key executives, non-employee owners who are spouses or family members, couples in business, business or investment partners, and entrepreneurs.  If you are a service provider to a closely held business (i.e., attorney, insurance agent, financial advisor, CPA, etc.), please note that seats are for closely held business owners and key executives, non-employee owners who are spouses or family members, couples in business, business or investment partners, and entrepreneurs.

How much does registration cost?

Is there a limit to how many people can come from one company?

Each person from a company must be registered to attend either one or both events. If you received the invitation and would like to share it with others in your organization, please email rsvp@wardandsmith.com.

What is the Closely Held Business Briefing?

With so many construction companies also being family-owned and closely held businesses, there was expressed interest in material that would be valuable to all closely held business owners.
