About the Event

A propos de l'événement

Hosted at MaRS Discovery District in the heart of the city, this dynamic event brings together Canada's leading general contractors, engineers, technology and service providers, government representatives, educators, and owners to tackle the most pressing challenges in the built environment and explore how technology and innovation are transforming the way we design, build, and operate.


This year's Summit is structured across two distinct ticketed streams:

Senior Executive Forum (November 4)

A dedicated program for a select number of C-suite and senior leaders, featuring executive-level programming, meals, and networking throughout the day. Must purchase the 'Senior Executive Leader Ticket' to attend.

Main Summit (November 5)

A full day of programming for practitioners. A curated event with speakers, breakout sessions, and our Technology Exhibitor showcase, along with meals, networking, and refreshments throughout the day. Attending Building Transformations Members are invited to join our Annual General Meeting (AGM) during the lunch hour. Must purchase the 'Main Summit Ticket' or 'Exhibitor Ticket' to attend.


All registered attendees from both streams are invited to join the Opening Reception on the evening of November 4, a great opportunity to connect with peers from across the industry.


Optional ticketed Site Walk Tours are also available on November 4, limited number of spots available.


Closing out the Summit afternoon on November 5, all attendees are invited to the Innovation Spotlight Awards ceremony, where we'll recognize nominees and present trophies to winners.
Nominees and winners will continue the celebration at an exclusive private Awards Reception, while other attendees are encouraged to dine around the GTA and keep the conversations going.
