14th Annual Conference. Advancing the Built Environment as a System of Systems & Aligning for Resilience in Affordable Housing.

America’s infrastructure is not a collection of parts—it’s a system of systems. From energy and water to transportation and buildings, these networks are deeply interconnected—physically, digitally, and operationally. When we optimize them together, we amplify resilience, efficiency, and national competitiveness.

Building Innovation 2026 will bring together leaders from government, industry, and academia to align innovations, policies, and standards that strengthen the systems underpinning the built environment. Through curated panels, collaborative workshops, and federal program showcases, the conference will explore how coordination across sectors can unlock scalable solutions to infrastructure challenges—transforming insight into action.
