Arizona Builders Exchange
Nearly 1,000 attendees packed the Grand Canyon Ballroom at the J.W. Marriot Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort to hear insights from top-tier presenters at the Urban Land Institute Arizona 11th Annual Trends Day on Wednesday.
Experts and leaders in economics, social trends, education, politics and other disciplines kept a brisk pace across a range of topics. Kicking off the day’s event, K.C. Conway, senior vice president of credit risk management for SunTrust Bank, touched on the state’s development history and the factors that led to its initial growth. He then described a potential future fueled by changes in transportation and manufacturing if Arizona has the vision to act and invest creatively and wisely.
