AI for Trade Contractors

TRAVIS VOSS | SMACNA Director of Innovative Technology and Fabrication

We’ll cut through the hype surrounding AI so attendees leave with concrete applications they can put to work in their office and field operations. Whether you’re already using these tools and looking to get more out of them or you’re trying to figure out where to begin, we’ll look at what’s working for contractors today, what isn’t and what’s coming next. We’ll also cover the practical questions principals are asking: what’s safe to use, where the real value is and what it means to wait.
