2023 PAGE Real Estate and Construction Summit
The first-ever PAGE Real Estate & Construction Summit, held at FS Investments on August 9, 2023, was a unique convening of leaders who are working to diversify the construction industry. The Summit outlined a vision for the future of diversity and equity in one of the city's key industries.
Two panels of experts offered practical solutions to the challenges and opportunities in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the construction industry, followed by a fireside chat with Commerce Director Anne Nadol outlining City government’s goals and responsibilities in addressing these challenges.
Presentations were followed by a Construction Managers Roundtable, offering the diverse business community a clear view of upcoming opportunities and the ability to connect with the necessary project leaders. Our brilliant line up of Philadelphia construction leaders included:
