FEATURED THEME FOR CO SUMMIT ‘25
Mental Health in Construction
At CO Summit 2025, we’re putting the spotlight on mental health and well-being in construction, addressing the real challenges workers face and providing strategies for a healthier, safer workforce.
Breaking the stigma around mental health
Learn how open conversations, leadership support, and education can create a culture where workers feel safe seeking help.
Resources and support systems for workers
Connect workers with essential tools, helplines, and industry-backed mental health programs.
Implementing wellness programs
Discover mental health initiatives like toolbox talks and peer support to keep workers engaged and supported.
Part of the proceeds from CO Summit 2025 will be donated to the Hearts Under the Hard Hats, a non-profit initiative dedicated to supporting construction workers' mental health.

Here’s what they have to say about the event!
We've probably made 10 to 15 new connections here in the first hour. We met with a lot of really great people and some students that are looking at ways to explore their future in the industry.
Shawn Dean,

It was amazing. I was so excited to have the opportunity to network and interact with so many people in the industry, as well as to see students here in person, who were very hungry and super excited for the opportunity to learn more about how they can join our industry.
Megan Shapiro,
Construction Contract Coach
I've met a lot of great individuals here. Some faculty members that we'll definitely be connecting with. Met some passionate students who are a little unsure on what to do next. Hoping that they head in the construction direction.
Nasim Adeli,

A lot of great networking with the exhibitors! We plan on attending again next year. This year's event was a big success. I'm sure it's going to get bigger!

This has been a phenomenal event to not only marry the construction world, but also the veterans in the world. It is great to be able to see the camaraderie that is happening here and the community that is being built up around.
