Annual NAFC National Conference

The Annual NAFC National Conference is set to be the largest and most significant event in the National Association of Federal Contractors' twenty-eight-year history. This conference will convene a diverse group of stakeholders, including Contractors, Labor Leaders, Construction Compliance Organizations, Legal and Policy Experts, Researchers, and Elected Officials. These participants are united in their mission to promote fairness and integrity within the multi-trillion-dollar public works marketplace in the United States.Attendees can expect to engage in a comprehensive lineup of discussions that focus on critical topics such as promoting Prevailing Wage Laws, Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), Responsible Bidder Ordinances (RBOs), and various High Road Construction Standards. Additionally, the conference will address pressing issues like wage theft and misclassification within the construction industry, and will highlight initiatives aimed at supporting and enhancing the Registered Apprenticeship System. Participants will also explore strategies for expanding access to construction career pathways, growing market share, and marketing Joint Labor-Management Partnerships. Furthermore, the conference will serve as a platform for collaboration with awarding bodies, public agencies, and law enforcement to safeguard the interests of workers and responsible contractors. It will also provide insights into building effective fair contracting or compliance organizations within local communities. Given the significance of the topics and the prominence of the speakers, it is recommended that potential attendees review the schedule of events carefully before making travel arrangements, as space will be limited. This will ensure they can participate fully in the complete array of plenary sessions, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities available throughout the conference.
