    What It's About

    Home builders have long struggled with outdated, rigid technologies that add complexity instead of solving problems. This unique session brings builders and tech innovators together to discuss and demonstrate a new, collaborative approach—one where builders help shape the tools they use, and tech companies truly listen and adapt. Expect candid conversation; but we're taking it a step further, showcasing live demos and case studies that tackle actual builder challenges through tech, while panelists and the audience collaborate in real time to share feedback, best practices, and alternative solutions. You’ll walk away understanding how to truly collaborate with your tech partners—creating and maximizing solutions that fit your business, strengthen performance, and move the entire industry forward.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Understand how builder-tech collaboration improves solution relevance in order to implement technologies that better support field and office workflows.
    • Learn how to evaluate and contribute to tech development processes so builders can shape tools that align with real-world challenges.
