Houston Happy Hour Kicks Off the Road to WIC

Just hours ago, CIEF and AGC Houston brought the energy at our Women in Construction Happy Hour, held August 27th in Houston. The event was filled with networking, small bites, and community as attendees came together to celebrate women shaping the future of the built environment.

“This evening was about celebrating women shaping the future of the built environment,” shared Delyssa, CIEF’s Texas Programs Manager. “It was inspiring to see so many leaders come together and build excitement for October’s conference.”

On the Road to Sacramento

Tonight’s happy hour is only the beginning. We’re building momentum for the 2025 SRBX & CIEF Women in Construction Conference, taking place October 15–16, 2025 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, CA.
​
New for 2025:

• A Pre-Conference Session at the Crest Theater on October 15th, followed by a K Street Happy Hour at local restaurants and bars.
• Assigned general session seating for tables of 10, with premium placement for select sponsorships.
  
  ​An inspiring keynote from Tracy Brower, PhD, who reminds us:

​“Belonging is a necessary ingredient for our performance—individually, in teams, and for our organizations—because we can more effectively engage and bring our best selves to work.”

Why This Conference Matter

Construction is one of the largest industries in the U.S., contributing 4.1% of the GDP, yet women make up just 10.3% of the workforce. As labor shortages continue to challenge our industry, fostering belonging and inclusion is critical to building the next generation of leaders.
The Women in Construction Conference is for all who want to be change makers. Through panels, workshops, and shared best practices, attendees will leave with actionable tools to recruit, retain, and empower future talent in the built environment.
