SDS2 Build Forward
Building Forward Together: A New Chapter for the SDS2 Summit
The SDS2 Summit is evolving. For years, this user conference has been a vital hub for steel detailers and fabricators, fostering a strong community and sharing knowledge. Now, it’s taking a significant step forward, rebranding as Build Forward.
The new name, Build Forward, reflects an expanded mission and a shared vision. While the conference will still feature the same community-driven spirit, with engaging breakout sessions and networking opportunities, it will now welcome a broader audience from the entire ALLPLAN ecosystem. This includes professionals like precast concrete fabricators, rebar detailers, and civil and structural engineers, creating a truly inclusive event.
The name “Build Forward” was carefully chosen. “Build” speaks to the core of what ALLPLAN customers do—turning concepts into tangible reality and developing skills and relationships. “Forward” signifies the commitment to innovation, progress, and looking ahead to new challenges. This rebranding is about uniting diverse professionals with a shared goal: to innovate and build for the future.
The inaugural Build Forward conference will be held in Omaha, Nebraska, on October 15-16, 2025. Attendees are encouraged to participate in several ways, whether by attending, applying to present a breakout session, or submitting their projects to the newly expanded ALLPLAN Awards. These awards now include new categories for both individuals and teams, with the winners to be announced at the Customer Appreciation Banquet.
Whether you’re a long-time SDS2 user or new to the ALLPLAN family, Build Forward offers a unique opportunity to gain inspiration and ideas to put to work in your business and career. The Infra Group is looking forward to exhibiting and connecting with you. Register here!
