ConExpo-Con/Agg revealed its lineup of featured speakers for its Tech Talks forum.
Tech Talks speakers will focus on the growing opportunity for innovation to benefit infrastructure projects and construction jobsites. The lineup includes a number of innovators:
- Wayne Rapp, director of manufacturing at Hyperloop One
- D’Arcy Salzmann, senior director of strategy at Microsoft HoloLens and studio manager at Future Bureau Microsoft
- Captains Mark and Scott Kelly, former NASA astronauts
- Scott Brusaw, co-founder of Solar Roadways
According to show organizers, the Tech Talks forum features short presentations to inspire and inform attendees. The forum also serves as a part of the show’s new Tech Experience that examines future technologies and innovations that will shape the construction industries with a focus on the jobsite, workforce and infrastructure.
“Our Tech Talk speakers are among the influential people who are making tomorrow’s reality happen,” says Rich Goldsbury, ConExpo-Con/Agg 2017 show chairman and president of Bobcat Co. and Doosan. “Technology is rapidly changing the way we do business across industries, and construction is no exception. The Tech Experience will push attendees to think beyond traditional perceptions of construction and imagine how technology can and will transform every aspect of our work.”
ConExpo-Con/Agg posted a complete list of its Tech Talks speakers and topics online. ConExpo-Con/Agg and the co-located IFPE exhibition take place March 7-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
