2023 Construction Leadership Conference

Tuesday, May 16 - Friday, May 19, 2023 JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside 400 West River Street [map] Savannah, GA 31401

The Association of Union Constructors is pleased to present the 2023 TAUC Leadership Conference. The leadership conference will be held May 16-19, 2023 at the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District, 400 West River Street, Savannah, Georgia 31401.

TAUC's Leadership Conference brings together all parties of the union construction and maintenance industry, providing the latest information on trends, problem-solving strategies and perspectives to advance our industry. We encourage our members and affiliates to attend this year's conference to take advantage of the numerous educational and networking opportunities.

As the national trade association for the union construction industry, TAUC strives to create and deliver events that capture the energy of the dynamic union construction market and offer necessary opportunities for union contractors, industrial business owners and union representatives to learn and network with fellow construction professionals. TAUC events are a means of advancing the union construction industry's collective interests in safety and health, labor relations, education, innovation and technology, and work opportunities.

If you've never attended a TAUC Leadership Conference, you can expect a full roster of high-quality speakers as well as numerous networking opportunities -- gourmet meals, a gala reception and dance, to name just a few. The conference also hosts the James J. Willis Craftsperson of the Year Award, Thomas J. Reynolds Safety Awards, and the new Joseph R. LaRocca Project of the Year Award presentations, three of the industry's most prestigious award programs.

Please join us in Savannah, Georgia for the 2023 TAUC Leadership Conference!
