What is the Industrialized Construction Forum?

Founded in 2014, the mission of the IC Forum is to be the premier hub for knowledge exchange among the growing global community of IC practitioners, innovators, and customers. Industrialized Construction includes advanced technologies for design, fabrication, and assembly, novel digital and physical production processes and practices, and business models for IC.

Following the IC Primer in the afternoon of February 3, the 11th Industrialized Construction Forum features three speaker sessions, a keynote on supply chain management, and ample networking opportunities. In the three sessions, the speakers will share their insights on how to create long-term success with IC, how to bring fabrication knowledge into design, and explore emerging ecosystems for IC.
