This rate is good for three days before and after the conference dates based on availability. The room block will remain open until Oct. 9, 2023, or when sold out.
OWNER SCHOLARSHIPS
Owners are a important member of the design-build team. A well-informed Owner can set the stage for a successful project from procurement through execution. There is a mental shift with design-build projects.
If funding is an issue, we encourage Owners to apply for scholarships to help offset registration fees and hotel costs. Scholarships will be issued as funds allow. Please apply to the Louis J. Martinez Owner Scholarship Program.
