CMAA Annual Conference
The Construction Management Association of America's annual conference—the premier event for owner's representatives and construction managers focused on project delivery excellence, AI adoption, and industry best practices.
Definition
The CMAA Annual Conference is the Construction Management Association of America's flagship event, held October 2026 in Denver, bringing together construction managers, owner's representatives, program managers, and project controls professionals. The conference serves the unique perspective of the owner-side construction management community—professionals who represent building owners, public agencies, and institutional clients in managing construction programs. AI sessions increasingly address: AI for program management and portfolio analytics, AI-assisted risk assessment and mitigation, technology for owner reporting and transparency, and the evolving role of the construction manager as AI handles more routine coordination tasks. CMAA administers the Certified Construction Manager (CCM) credential, and conference attendance contributes to CCM recertification requirements. With a distinctive Owner's Perspective track addressing cost certainty, ESG reporting, and long-term asset performance, CMAA Conference provides C-suite perspectives unavailable at contractor-focused events. CMAA Annual Conference 2027 is expected in fall 2027.
