Inclusion Resources
In 2025, AGC’s Inclusion Council is hosted the first PNW Construction Expo. No future dates have been set.
Over the next decade, more than $15 billion in construction is heading to Oregon and SW Washington. This expo is where it all begins.
AGC’s inclusion council is bringing together the people who will shape that future—small businesses hungry to grow, workforce programs training the future pros, prime contractors looking for trusted partners, and builders and developers who are ready to get to work.
This isn’t just another networking event. It’s a boots-on-the-ground opportunity to connect, collaborate, and claim your stake in the region’s booming construction pipeline.
We’re teaming up with local construction associations to create a powerful platform that drives real results and strengthens our industry from the ground up. Your presence isn’t just welcome—it’s vital.
Let’s build. Together.
