Join us for coffee and donuts, grab your name badge and settle in for a great day of learning, team building and networking. Your table assignment for the morning session is on your name badge.

Please make sure you’re in your seat to be a part of the welcome by our special guest.

We’re starting out the morning with an overview of the Indiana Transportation Team and its vision. INDOT’s Deputy Commissioner Lyndsay Quist will take the lead on this session that provides a roadmap for our day (and beyond).

You’re going to be spending a lot of time with the folks at your table today, so this session, led by ICI President Richard Hedgecock, CAE, will help you get to know your neighbors.

ACEC Indiana, Indiana Constructors, Inc. and INDOT have robust workforce development efforts in place, and this session will shine a spotlight on how the industry as a whole is addressing next generation recruitment and retention.

Grab some more coffee and enjoy a few minutes with friends before we dig into the good stuff. Now’s the time for morning district presenters to move to the staging area up front.

Find out about the issues these districts have been tackling:

• Crawfordsville – Change Orders
• LaPorte – Workzone Best Practices
• Greenfield – Letting Q & A

Stretch your legs. Return those calls. Grab some lunch and enjoy a meal with friends in your District breakout rooms. Your district steering committee is going to foster a discussion to get a sense of where we are and where we should go from here, so get ready for some lunchtime brainstorming.

ACEC, ICI and INDOT all play a crucial role in how Indiana’s system of highways, roads and bridges is funded, and each group is going to give you some insight into that process, along with funding priorities.

Explore the issues the following districts have been examining:

• Vincennes – Utilities
• Seymour – MOT Changes After Letting
• Fort Wayne – Workforce Development & Retention

Safety in its many forms and functions is key to how all three legs of the ITT stool conduct business. Learn about the innovative safety initiatives making workers and motorists safer, and close out the day with inspo from INDOT Deputy Commissioner of Construction, Roland Fegan, P.E.

Enjoy a cup of holiday cheer and some tasty treats with old friends and new acquaintances at our Happy Hour in the 500 Reception Room. We’ve tucked two drink tickets into your name badge holder, and you can purchase additional beverages after that.
