I’m speaking at the Master Builders of Iowa conference in February 2027. If you build, supply, or design commercial buildings in Iowa, this is one to put on the calendar.
The facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Event | Master Builders of Iowa (MBI) Annual Winter Conference |
| Dates | February 23 to 24, 2027 |
| Venue | Iowa Events Center, Des Moines, Iowa |
Who’s in the room
MBI says the conference draws over 1,500 people from the Iowa commercial building industry. That includes contractors, suppliers, service providers, design professionals, and students. (That figure is MBI’s general description of the event, not a 2027 forecast.)
A room that size has one thing in common. Everyone touches paperwork, from the estimator to the superintendent to the supplier’s inside sales rep. Bids, submittals, contracts, change orders, safety documents. That’s where AI helps, and that’s what I teach.
Iowa members are also learning with me
Master Builders of Iowa is also running the Iron Thread AI Mastery Program, a 12-month training partnership with one live session each month. So some MBI members will already know my teaching style when they see me in Des Moines.
If you haven’t touched AI yet, you’re welcome in my session too. I build my sessions for the whole room.
Why AI fits commercial building
Commercial building runs on documents that pass through many hands. A submittal moves from the sub to the GC to the architect and back. A change order needs a paper trail. That’s a lot of places for AI to save hours, and a lot of places for a mistake to slip in. I teach both sides.
What I teach and how
I have 20 years in construction and a Class B General Contractor license. I’m not a technologist translating for your industry. Here’s what you can expect:
- Real documents. Contracts, specs, and bid packages from actual projects, with names and numbers changed.
- Practical output. You leave with prompts and templates you can use Monday morning.
- Honest limits. I tell you what AI does well and what it can’t be trusted with.
- A customized session. I rebuild the deck for your audience and the problems they name.
Iowa in February
Bring a coat. I’ll bring the AI.
