SWACCA BIM Summit 2026: Align, Automate, Advance

SWACCA's third annual BIM Summit brings together wall and ceiling contractors, BIM and VDC professionals, field staff, union representatives, and technology innovators for a day and a half of deep-dive sessions, hands-on tech demos, and peer networking — built entirely around the wall and ceiling industry.

This year's theme — Align, Automate, Advance — reflects where the industry is headed: integrated workflows, software-driven automation, and a field workforce equipped to lead the next generation of construction.

Interested in speaking at the BIM Summit? We're looking for presentations focused on BIM, VDC, technology, automation, prefabrication, and other topics relevant to the wall and ceiling industry. All accepted speakers receive complimentary summit registration.
