Thanks for joining the 2025 Future Leaders Ideas Lab!

We’re thrilled that so many forward-thinking professionals came together in Phoenix from November 3–5 at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown to collaborate, learn, and lead the way.

Highlights from the event

• Meaningful connections were made between full-member participants across the industry — exchanging fresh ideas in a non-competitive environment.
• Hands-on leadership and problem-solving sessions focused on real, immediate challenges facing the steel-construction sector today.
• Dynamic facilitators and panelists encouraged big-picture thinking and actionable next steps for emerging industry leaders.
