The Women in Construction – West Coast Conference is designed for women in all fields and positions within the construction industry. It provides a forum for women to network, learn, educate, and share ideas. This is a one-of-a-kind conference on the West Coast providing educational panels, professional development, and networking for women in the construction industry. The conference has been planned by women leaders in the construction industry and is scheduled to be an annual event, changing venue locations each year to various western cities. The format of the conference is a one-day program consisting of panels on relevant topics in addition to female keynote speakers sharing their insights as women in the construction industry.

The concept of a “Women in Construction Conference” was the brain child of Barbara Werther and Barbara Wagner, and it has developed into a highly successful conference held each year in Washington, D.C. After nine years, that conference continues to grow and demonstrates the interest women have in connecting within the industry.
