Organized by the Modular Building Institute and the University of Alberta, the 2016 Modular and Offsite Construction [MOC] Summit takes place in Edmonton at the University of Alberta from September 29 – October 1, 2016. An exciting and informative event in Alberta construction that connects entrepreneurs, builders, project managers, practitioners, academics, and industry stakeholders from around the world, offering educational and inspirational presentations that cover the breadth of cutting edge research and the best modular construction and offsite building practices from industrial to commercial construction.
Modular and offsite construction, also known as the industrialized construction process, saves on both time and costs while also creating high quality products in safe and healthy work environments. This year’s MOC Summit will unite industry experts and researchers in highlighting and exploring the challenges and benefits to modular and offsite construction.
The Summit consists of three full days of sessions, speakers, and networking opportunities in addition to two manufacturing facility walking tours at Lafarge and AQBUILT – providing attendees with insight into the construction process.
