Zach Giglio will share real-world use cases from across the construction industry, showing how teams are applying AI to speed up proposal writing, streamline project management and reporting, improve cash flow forecasts, support estimation, and reduce administrative burdens. You’ll see exactly how AI is being put to work, and how you can do the same.
This presentation is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or looking for better ways to integrate it into your day-to-day. You’ll leave with clear, actionable takeaways grounded in what’s working right now on actual job sites and in real businesses.
