CSI Hackathon

Join CSI and industry leaders for a discussion and hands-on workshop where we will explore how construction specifications can be a tool in advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion goals in the built environment.

After some general discussion on the current state of specifications, participants will split into breakout rooms to brainstorm or 'hack' specs to find opportunities to improve existing language or add new text focused on JEDI initiatives.
