What Makes a GC of the Year? | ISA Kickoff 2026

Start the new year with an energizing afternoon at the Phoenix Theatre as ISA brings together voices from the field for a candid conversation on what truly defines excellence in a general contractor or construction manager. Our featured panel of seasoned subcontractors will share real-world experiences—stories of collaboration, lessons learned, and practical insights that shape successful projects.

This discussion isn’t just talk; it’s designed to spark ideas and set the stage for ISA’s GC of the Year Awards program. You’ll hear perspectives on communication, leadership, and innovation—factors that make a difference on every job site—and leave equipped to provide meaningful feedback during the awards process.

Following the panel, enjoy open networking with peers and industry leaders in a relaxed setting. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and kick off 2025 with fresh momentum.
