Welcome from NABIE President, Greg Lason, P.E.
We are looking forward to welcoming NABIE members, sponsors and guests to our 2026 annual conference in Austin, in the heart of Texas. Our temporary home while in Austin will be in one of the Lone Star State's legendary hotels, The Driskill, located on famed 6th Street and just steps from the Capitol.
We have arranged an incredible slate of speakers covering topics that are relevant to firms engaged in design/build projects, building inspection and forensic engineering.

Welcome from Executive Director, Catherine Jones
We are thrilled that NABIE has selected Austin, Texas as the location for our 2026 Conference, Deep in the Heart of Texas.

We are still rounding out our slate of speakers and sponsors, but attendees will enjoy:
- Presentation and tour of a 3D printed home community by ICON
- Presentation by InventWood, makers of Superwood, recently featured in The Wall Street Journal,
- Presentation from ArcSite
- Presentation by Autodesk
