About the event
Converge is where the construction industry comes to connect.
This is not just another conference. Converge Chicago is a curated annual summit for the doers, fixers, thinkers, and builders who are shaping the future of construction. Whether you're working directly in the construction industry or serving it from the outside, this construction conference is designed for you.
In the words of Anthony Bourdain:
“Chicago is a town, a city that doesn't ever have to measure itself against any other city. Other places have to measure themselves against it. It's big, it's outgoing, it's tough, it's opinionated, and everybody's got a story.”
That’s the energy of Converge Chicago and the people who attend this construction summit. Big. Outgoing. Tough. Opinionated. Everyone’s got a story, and they’re not afraid to tell it like it is. We call them Convergers, and this event was built for them.
Here, titles matter less than intention. We bring together contractors, consultants, creatives, tech founders, advisors, and entrepreneurs who care about one thing: building something meaningful—together.
This is your invitation to:
🟢 Learn through conversations, not just presentations. Whether it’s on stage or around the table, every session is designed to spark honest dialogue and practical takeaways.
🟢 Build real relationships, not just exchange business cards. This isn’t networking. It’s a place to find your people… the ones who challenge you, cheer for you, and collaborate with you.
🟢 Co-create the future of construction across roles, disciplines, and perspectives. Whether you wear boots or build software, you belong here.
🟢 Step into a room where everyone wants to make things better and is willing to show their cards. The ego gets left at the door. The good stuff happens when you show up for real.
This isn't another cattle-call conference. Converge Chicago is built for high-trust conversations, curated sessions, and the kind of collisions that turn into collaborations, no matter how big the room gets.
If you’re ready to trade small talk for big progress, Converge is where it starts.
