ABC Carolinas Chapter

The best business conversations don’t always happen in the boardroom.

Sometimes they happen over coffee before a session.

Walking to dinner.

On the golf course.

Or overlooking the ocean after a day filled with new ideas and meaningful conversations.

That’s exactly why we chose Hilton Head for the 2026 ABC Carolinas Construction Convention.

This isn’t just another conference. It’s three intentional days designed to help construction leaders step away from the daily demands of the business and focus on what’s next.

✔ Step away from day-to-day operations
✔ Learn from industry leaders
✔ Connect with contractors facing the same challenges
✔ Leave with new ideas and a plan to put them into action

Join us at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa for three days of leadership development, industry insights and valuable connections.

The companies that continue to win are intentional about how they lead, develop people and build culture.

That’s why we’re proud to recognize Milwaukee Tool as the Title Sponsor of the 2026 ABC Carolinas Construction Convention.

Milwaukee has earned a reputation for more than innovation. Their commitment to understanding contractors, investing in people and helping companies perform at a higher level has made them a trusted partner across the construction industry.

🎤 Culture as a Growth Engine: How Milwaukee Doubled Its Growth and How You Can Too!

In today's construction market, the companies that win the best work aren't always the lowest bidder. They're the companies' owners, general contractors and partners trust to deliver.

At the 2026 ABC Carolinas Construction Convention, you'll hear directly from industry leaders about what separates companies that consistently earn repeat business from those that struggle to stand out.

Learn:

✔ What earns repeat work
✔ What damages credibility
✔ What owners and GCs look for in trusted partners
✔ How to position your company for the right opportunities in 2027

This isn't theory. It's real-world insight from the people making hiring and project decisions every day.

It's not luck.
It's not the economy.
And it's not waiting for the perfect opportunity.

It's leadership.

That's why we're excited to welcome Alex Weber as the Opening Keynote Speaker at the 2026 ABC Carolinas Construction Convention.

As an award-winning speaker, American Ninja Warrior competitor and leadership expert, Alex brings a powerful message for today's construction leaders: growth happens when individuals choose to step up, take ownership and lead with purpose.

This year's convention theme, "If Not Me, Then Who?", challenges each of us to embrace the responsibility of leadership and create a lasting impact on our companies, our teams and our industry.

Join construction professionals from across the Carolinas for three days of learning, networking and leadership development.

Communication breaks down. Expectations slip. Deadlines get missed. And over time, small compromises become part of the culture.

Leadership isn't always about having the right answers. Sometimes it's about being willing to address what everyone else is avoiding.

Join us at the 2026 ABC Carolinas Construction Convention as we explore leadership strategies that drive real business results, strengthen teams and improve project performance.

💡 Theme: If Not Me, Then Who?

Stronger leadership builds:

✔ Stronger teams
✔ Better communication
✔ More accountability
✔ Better project outcomes
