Hear from expert panels

The evening’s festivities will feature two panels stacked with winners from our winning companies.

The first, Small Giants: Subtrades disrupting the industry, will explore how subtrades are leading the way when it comes to modernizing construction work and cultivating a skilled workforce. It will feature Fettback and Heesterman Principal Andrew Fettback, NuFrame CEO and Founder Lorne Derksen, and Maxan Interiors’ Vice President of Construction Doug Villeneuve.

The second, Big Ideas: Implementing Enterprise-Level Innovation, will have Kinetic Chief Operating Officer Mike Walz, Fast + Epp Partner Tobias Fast and RCJ Engineers Associate Mohammad Fakoor. They will explore ways larger operations implement and maintain innovation across their teams.

Test drive technology

A digital, immersive road building experience will be parked in the middle of the venue. The BC Road Builders & Heavy Construction Association’s RoadShow trailer features simulators and virtual reality technology that is being used to introduce British Columbians across the province to heavy equipment careers. It allows for realistic and safe training environments on five different simulators that replicate different models of heavy equipment and attachments.

The venue

We couldn’t think of a better place to host than SiteHQ—our new, 10,000-square-foot office and Canada’s first specialized industrial studio. In addition to SiteNews, SiteHQ is home to the Site group of companies, including SitePartners, SiteTechnology and SiteTalent.

This unique space is changing the game for industrial clients who want to tell compelling stories. Featuring a 36’ wide, corner-to-corner infinity wall with a full lighting grid rigged above, SiteStudio gives our friends at SitePartners complete control over lighting and sound.
