Industrialized Construction Forum 2019

The 5th Annual Industrialized Construction Forum 2019 will take place on February 21st, 2019 in Stanford, California, United States. Industrialized Construction continues to spread as a movement across the globe. In this year’s forum, we will hear from leaders and innovators of ongoing IC movements in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Mexico. The discussion will continue with new ideas and entrepreneurial ventures to be applied in North America.

Founded in 2014, the mission of the IC Forum is to be the premier hub for industry knowledge exchange among the growing community of Industrialized Construction experimenters, innovators, and startups in the Bay Area and across the globe.

The term Industrialized Construction is intentionally broad to include emerging business models for off-site and prefab while looking forward to the application of future technologies such as 3D printing and robotics.
