Event Description:
Maryland has significant development and capital investment underway, with more projects moving through planning and preconstruction. For the firms that design, build, finance, and support these projects, understanding what’s coming next is essential.
Join us for Building What’s Next: Maryland’s Project Pipeline, a breakfast and panel discussion featuring senior leaders from organizations responsible for some of the region’s most significant development and capital programs.
Panelists will discuss projects currently underway, what’s coming through the pipeline, where they see the market heading, and the issues shaping development and construction decisions.
The conversation will also explore how owners and developers select the firms they work with, including:
- What gets a contractor, architect, engineer, or professional services firm noticed?
- When should relationships with owners and developers begin?
- What matters beyond price?
- Where do firms miss opportunities before a project reaches the bid stage?
This conversational discussion is designed to provide practical takeaways attendees can bring back to their companies, along with a better understanding of where opportunities may emerge across Maryland over the next several years.
Confirmed Panelists:
Ritchie Stever: University of Maryland Medical Systems, Vice President of Real Estate and Construction, University of Maryland Medical Systems
Eric Johnson: Maryland Stadium Authority, Sr. Vice President, Maryland Stadium Authority, Capital Projects Development Group
