PPI 13^th Annual Symposium

Deliver Capital Projects Faster, at Lower Cost, and More Predictably

3 December 2026 | Virtual

Massive investments are being made at record pace in data centers and the energy systems that power them.

At the same time, major civil works also need to be constructed.

Faced with labor constraints, supply chain disruption and a host of other challenges, owners and their contractors are looking to leverage various technologies and solutions including AI, robotics, moving work offsite. But which work and which don’t?

During PPI’s 13th Annual Symposium, in collaboration with Stanford University’s Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE), industry and academia leaders will present how projects are being delivered predictably, safer, faster at lower cost. Attendees will gain insights into emerging methodologies and their real-world applications.

Why attend

Learn what works on real projects. Hear how named owners, contractors, and researchers are applying production-based methods to live capital projects, and what the results were.

See the science behind better delivery. Understand how flow, variability, work-in-process, capacity, and cycle time drive cost and schedule outcomes, and how to act on them.

Connect with serious peers. Spend the day with senior practitioners and academics who already know the problem space and are working on the next practices.
