AGC 2026 Annual Convention Announcement

BUILD WHAT MATTERS

12:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. Membership Luncheon

Matthew Emerzian “Make it Matter” There are some stories that simply stop us in our tracks. Stories are so meaningful that they send a ripple effect of positive impact that literally transforms millions of lives. That is Matt’s story. That is what Making it Matter can truly do.

6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Join us for an evening centered on what truly defines our industry: people, purpose, and service. This year’s theme, Build What Matters, reminds us that our greatest impact comes not just from the projects we complete, but from the lives we touch along the way. At this year’s dinner, we’ll put that mission into action with hands-on service projects that allow every attendee to give back and make a difference , right there in the room, together as an AGC family. We’ll also honor the board members concluding their terms, welcome new leadership with Gary Ellis of Jacobsen Construction stepping in as Chairman and present the prestigious Eric W. Ryberg Award to a member whose character and contributions inspire all of us. As we celebrate 104 years of AGC, we’ll reflect on how far we’ve come and recommit ourselves to building what matters most: strong people, strong communities, and a strong future for our industry. Come ready to connect, serve, celebrate, and build what matters together.

After achieving incredible success in the music industry working on projects for the biggest artists in the world, including U2, Coldplay, Avril Lavigne and more, Matt’s life changed one Monday morning when he woke up with a crippling panic attack that would set him on a course to change the world in ways he never would have expected. Matt’s realization that everything he thought mattered all of the sudden didn’t, so he set out on a journey to rediscover life’s purpose and why he truly matters. In doing so, Matt’s life took various twists and turns as he discovered that mattering is at the heart of everything we do, intentional or not, and requires a recalibration that helped him see more clearly, live on purpose, and change how he shows up in the world. This discovery led to the Mattering Mindset , a methodology that has transformed the lives of millions of leaders, businesses, and lives around the world. In this grounded, impactful, and actionable keynote, Matt shares how to make purpose and impact tangible, that we are one discovery away from a life of true meaning, and that we all play an integral role in building the teams and organizations we dreamed of being a part of. His personal story and highly interactive keynote will transform your people and organization forever.
