About this event
The event runs from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. The day combines a symposium with an exhibit hall, so attendees can move between talks and vendor booths without leaving the building.
The organizers list session topics that cover materials, software, building codes, human resources, legal matters, business development and workforce issues. That mix makes the day useful for owners and office managers, not only field supervisors.
The organizers are regional builder groups, so the program is aimed at issues that Pennsylvania contractors face day to day.
Who should go
- Builders and general contractors planning materials and labor for upcoming jobs
- Operations and project managers who evaluate construction software
- Owners and office staff handling HR, legal or business development
- Field leads who want to see new equipment and tools in the exhibit hall
Why it matters for robots
The published session list does not name robots or automation as a focus, so expect that side of the technology to be a smaller part of the day. The exhibit hall is where a manager is most likely to see site layout, scanning or jobsite tracking tools.
When you talk with vendors, ask how their tools fit into your existing estimating and scheduling software and what support they offer after setup. Those answers matter more than a demonstration on a clean show floor.
