Last week, Justin Davis, President of Business Development, and Michael Okoye, Senior Project Engineer, represented Pinner Construction at AGC of California’s CONSTRUCT 2026 Conference, connecting with industry leaders, exploring emerging trends and bringing back valuable insights to strengthen our operations and project delivery.
A key takeaway was the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in construction. Keynote speaker Zach Giglio shared valuable perspectives on implementing AI responsibly and effectively, reinforcing Pinner’s ongoing efforts to expand AI integration, streamline workflows and empower employees through technology and training.
Other conference highlights included the Education Showcase featuring LAUSD, Cal State Fullerton and Riverside Community College District; discussions with CAL FIRE on improving inspection and closeout processes; and Pinner’s commitment to AGC’s new Collaborative Build Initiative, which aligns with our longstanding dedication to strong industry partnerships.
We were also proud to sponsor the Long Beach State AGC Student Chapter’s attendance at the conference. Justin and Michael enjoyed connecting with the students, sharing their industry experiences and celebrating the next generation of construction professionals.
Reflecting on his first CONSTRUCT conference, Michael shared:
“Attending AGC CONSTRUCT 2026 was a valuable opportunity to connect with industry professionals, explore emerging construction trends and learn how AI can improve project efficiency and delivery. One of my biggest takeaways was the importance of integrating technology to streamline tasks while maintaining a strong focus on collaboration and quality. I look forward to bringing these insights and new ideas back to Pinner.”
At Pinner, the true value of opportunities like CONSTRUCT lies in turning new ideas and industry connections into meaningful improvements for our people, projects and clients.
Thank you to AGC of California, the speakers, agency partners and industry colleagues who made this year's conference a success. We look forward to putting these insights into action!
