CII Global AWP+ Conference: Advancing Project Delivery – Decision Making in Action

The 2026 CII Global AWP+ Conference convenes owner, contractor, technology and service providers, consultants and academics to accelerate AWP+ adoption, development and implementation in construction capital project delivery.  The event focuses on bringing together construction project leaders and practitioners from across the construction industry to network, knowledge share, learn, collaborate, co-create and celebrate success around AWP and the full suite of best practices, technologies, and brilliant teams that make up a global construction industry including Lean Construction and Project Production Management. 

AWP+ Advancing Project Delivery – Decision Making in Action recognizes that while there is still work to do in bringing the global construction industry to AWP maturity and while fully leveraging available and emerging technologies, there is yet even more value to be gained in the incorporation and development of AWP combined with best practices from across the global construction industry and beyond.  We need to identify and take the necessary decisions to realize our full potential in a complex and rapidly evolving project environment. 

This is not a presentation-led conference. The 2026 program is designed as a decision-driven environment, where participants actively engage in real project scenarios, explore critical decision points, and collaborate on practical solutions. Sponsors and delegates are not just attendees — they are contributors to the conversations shaping project outcomes.

Sponsorship packages are designed to provide not only brand visibility but direct engagement with industry decision-makers. Value is delivered through participation in interactive sessions, facilitated networking, and integration into the working conference formats that define this event. Sponsorship engagement opportunities are embedded throughout the agenda, including interactive roundtables, case study sessions, technology showcases, and curated networking experiences. These formats are designed to maximize meaningful interaction between sponsors and delegates beyond traditional exhibition models.  

Unlike traditional conferences, this event is structured around interactive formats including masterclasses, real-world decision case studies, roundtables, and innovation challenges. Delegates do not just listen — they engage directly in the conversations, trade-offs, and real project scenarios shaping industry performance. Sponsors benefit from direct access to decision-makers across owners, EPCs, contractors, and technology providers, with multiple structured opportunities to engage meaningfully through facilitated sessions, networking experiences, and collaborative working formats. This creates a unique platform not only for visibility, but for influence — enabling sponsors to contribute to the thinking, strategies, and decisions that will define the future of project delivery.
