Consultant/Contractor/Owner (CCO) Workshop
 

Each year, the Southern Interior Construction Association hosts the CCO Workshop. This event is designed to create a networking forum that allows input from all partners in the construction process. Our goal is to identify common problems and common solutions; not to focus on a particular project.

This full day course includes various guest speakers on relevant construction issues, valuable break-out sessions on various topics, and a fun team building excercise to kick everything off!

Register now for the 2010 CCO Workshop on Thursday, February 11.
