The National Institute of Building Sciences is hosting its annual Building Innovation conference, May 22-24 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C.
BI2024 brings together everyone who impacts the built environment - government agencies, contractors, the private sector, architects, scientists, and more. Expert-led sessions will cover three topics, and the diverse workforce supporting all of it: resilience, technology, and building performance and sustainability. ICC and AIA continuing education units will be available.
