This page covers eight picks worth knowing about, chosen because they span a useful range of specialties, from concrete and aggregates to infrastructure investment and facilities maintenance. The Extreme Builders Summit North kicks things off in Granite Falls, MN in early January, and the Investment in Infrastructure Expo St. Louis wraps the season in late February in St. Charles, MO. In between, you get regional association meetings and single-day expos that tend to draw the contractors, suppliers, and project owners who actually work in these markets. If you're trying to build pipeline, stay current on regional specs, or get in front of buyers before spring construction season opens up, these are the rooms worth being in.
