Attendees engaged in 35 hours of education and training, highlighted by a powerful presentation from father-daughter duo Brad Livingston and Kayla Rath on The Ripple Effect—a compelling message about the lasting impact of jobsite accidents.

In a collective effort to give back, our blood drive contributed 30 pints toward the national blood shortage, and together, we raised $7,500 for the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention, an organization dedicated to supporting the well-being of the men and women in our field.

The conference also featured 40 exhibitors, including industry leaders such as MILWAUKEE TOOLLittle Giant LadderTyfoomClickSafetyProcore, DeWaltHilti, and ServiceTitan.

A special session brought insights from MCAA President Rick Gopparth, SMACNA President Tom Martin Jr., and TAUC President Justin Bruce, reinforcing our shared commitment to safety and health.

At MCAA, SMACNA, and TAUC, the safety and well-being of our workers, teams, and companies remain our top priority. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration and advancing industry safety in the years ahead.

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Safety & Health Conference, taking place January 12-15, 2026, in Austin, Texas—we look forward to seeing you there!
