Tickets are going fast for our annual Future of Design and Construction Summit in Toronto. Register now before spots are gone. We have an incredible lineup of sessions this year, including this one:

Mavara Turab (VP Engineering, Alto) and Denis Andlauer (Deputy Project Director, Cadence) are taking the stage to break down the collaborative delivery model behind Canada's high-speed rail network, a 1,000 km corridor from Toronto to Quebec City, built for speeds of 300 km/h or more. They'll cover how Alto and Cadence structured roles, managed risk, and brought public and private partners into genuine alignment on one of the most complex infrastructure projects in Canadian history.

Building Transformations through one community. 🤝

Silos don't build the future. Diverse conversations do. When innovative designers, builders, owners, operators, technology providers, and thought leaders sit at the same table, that's where real change happens across design and construction globally.

That's what we're here for. One community. One sector. Moving forward together.
