Sponsorship

Building an Inclusive Space for All Voices in Construction

The success of Construction Forum is based on its accessibility and inclusion. We call it “Knocking down the walls to make a room big enough for everyone.”

We do not purport to be the “voice” for anyone in the industry. Rather, we are a “room” where all those voices can be heard.

All of our events and communication — quarterly speakers/networking; newsletters; website, etc. — are free and open to anyone and everyone who has an interest in improving construction and development in the St. Louis region.

The Construction Forum is deliberately and methodically changing the game of delivering construction news and viewpoints in St Louis.
– Scott Wilson | CEO, S.M. Wilson & Co.

Sponsorship That Drives Engagement and Inclusion

Because we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with no “membership” requirement to access our offerings, sponsorship of Construction Forum may be tax deductible as either a business or as a charitable expense based on your individual situation. Please check with your tax consultant.

We appreciate the contribution that our sponsors make and take very seriously our obligation to deliver a high level of industry engagement and marketing value. Our metrics are constantly and instantly available.

Sponsor the Forum

I would encourage anyone thinking in terms of reaching the best minds in the construction industry to attend Construction Forum events. Whether you seek thought leaders in the areas of diversity and inclusion, design build projects, or three-dimensional modeling, a visit with Forum members is an investment in your company’s future.
Howard Hayes – Director Minority Business Development & Compliance, St. Louis Development Corporation

The Forum has been a great resource for all involved in our industry. Simply bringing people in our industry together and offering professional discussion and allowing us the time to be in the same room with peers, owners, prospective clients and friends is accomplishment enough. Your locations are always of interest and your speakers are a great mixture of industry related topics and themes of the day. I stand in awe of the number of people you drag out of bed with every meeting — keep up the good work. I have never left a Forum meeting disappointed.
Ron Unterreiner — Founder, PEOPLE of Construction
