Revolutionizing the End-to-End Design, Manufacture & Installation of Game-Changing Prefabricated Interior, Exterior & Structural Systems to Deliver Greater Speed & Cost-Efficiency, at Scale
As rising material and labor costs collide with tighter project timelines and client demands, the AEC industry is at a turning point. Prefabrication is no longer a forward-thinking option, it’s fast becoming a necessity. With prefabrication hours set to double for walling, structural and framing contractors over the next 5 years, success hinges on one critical factor: the ability of designers, consultants, general contractors, and trade contractors to collaborate and seamlessly integrate innovative prefabricated systems across the full project lifecycle to maximize productivity and enhance competitive advantage.
That’s why the 2nd edition of Advancing Prefabrication: Structures & Facades (formerly Advancing Prefabrication: Unitized Façades & Panelization) is back in 2026, reimagined! Uniting 100+ structural and façade specialists from across the prefabrication ecosystem, this forum connects the dots between North America’s prefabricators, designers, consultants, general contractors and clients to discuss how each player can optimize the design, coordination, manufacture and installation of the most innovative panelized, precast and prefabricated structural systems. This is your chance to make high-impact connections with leaders from across the AEC industry and gain exclusive insights into embedding prefabrication early in designs, enhancing up-front cross-partner collaboration, coordinating the integration of MEP and structural systems, refining shop-floor processes, combining prefabricated façade systems with mass timber, and much more – all so you can facilitate the seamless delivery of your projects with confidence and unlock the full performance potential of prefabricated systems.
This March, join leaders from DPR Construction, Wells, Permasteelisa North America, Page, Clark Pacific, and Salas O’Brien to deep dive into cutting-edge case studies, expert-led panels, and interactive workshops navigating every aspect of a prefab project’s lifecycle to ensure you become the partner of choice in today’s competitive market by delivering high-quality products that align precisely with design intent, enabling faster, safer and more cost-effective construction.
It was great to bring the industry together to talk about our challenges.
Associate Director of Preconstruction & Façades, Clark Pacific
I enjoyed seeing and hearing what all the different prefab companies are doing around the country. Whether it be framing only, all the way to rain screen with metal panels.
General Manager, Falewitch Construction
I enjoyed the focus on the panelized facade niche of the prefabrication space. The topics were more relevant than the generalized conversations at the larger advancing prefabrication conference.
