This page covers eight events worth tracking across Texas, Arizona, and Oklahoma, selected for their relevance to contractors, project managers, and safety professionals working in the region. The AGC Construction Safety & Health Conference in Glendale kicks off the year with a direct focus on jobsite risk and compliance. A few weeks later, the National Demolition Association Annual Convention & Expo brings specialty contractors to Phoenix for one of the more niche-specific gatherings on the calendar. For teams scouting technology or prefab trends, BuiltWorlds AI/ML Conference in Austin runs in February and draws a smaller, more focused crowd than the major trade shows. If your business operates across the Southwest, clustering attendance around these dates can cut travel costs and keep your team off the road for fewer, more productive trips.
