SUMMARY:Construction Intelligence Summit
DESCRIPTION:Location: CBIZ Indianapolis Office\, 3925 River Crossing Pkwy #100\, Indianapolis\, IN 46240 \nJoin us on September 16th in Indianapolis for the Construction Intelligence Summit\, hosted at the CBIZ office. This one-day event brings together forward-thinking leaders in construction to explore the power of data\, strategy\, and financial intelligence. You’ll hear from CPAs\, industry experts\, and the ProNovos team\, each offering insights you can put into practice right away. \nWhether you’re navigating economic uncertainty\, aiming for stronger financial outcomes\, or just curious about what others are doing\, this Summit is about equipping you with the intelligence to move faster\, build smarter\, and lead with confidence. \nRegistration is open\, and space is limited. Reserve your spot below\, and stay tuned for details on an evening event to close out the day. \nAgenda\n\n \n\n8:00 – 9:00 am \nBreakfast and Coffee \n\n \n\n9:00 – 9:10 am \nWelcome from CBIZ \nA welcome from our hosts at the CBIZ Indianapolis office: Ken Hedlund\, Brian Muncy\, and Jason Bainter. \n\n \n\n9:15 – 9:55 am \nOpening Remarks from ProNovos \nBruce Orr\, CEO\, ProNovos and Samantha Lake\, COO\, ProNovos \n\n \n\n10:00 – 10:50 am \nThe Secret to Getting Paid Faster in Construction \nModerator: Catrina Sandman\, Director of Marketing\, ProNovos \nPanelists: Greg DiDonna\, President\, Viva Capital; Bruce Orr\, CEO\, ProNovos \nMost subcontractors treat pay-when-paid as the cost of doing business and price it accordingly. The interest on the line of credit they’ll need to bridge 60\, 90\, or 120 days of waiting gets built straight into the bid. It’s a hidden tax nobody talks about\, and it’s optional. \nThis panel makes the case for a different posture: proactive\, not reactive. Some subs are using early payment on individual progress invoices to buy materials at bulk rates. Some are using it to fund growth they couldn’t otherwise finance. Others aren’t chasing an edge at all; they just want cash flow they can actually plan around\, rather than the guesswork of pay-when-paid. Our panelists\, representing capital\, construction finance\, technology\, and business development\, will unpack how subcontractors are taking control of when they get paid\, without locking themselves into an all-or-nothing factoring arrangement. \nAttendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating payment acceleration options against what pay-when-paid is actually costing them today. \n\nLearning objectives (NASBA\, Finance field of study) \n\nIdentify the hidden cost subcontractors absorb under pay-when-paid terms\, including how line-of-credit interest gets priced into bids.\nDescribe how spot factoring on individual progress invoices differs from traditional all-or-nothing factoring arrangements.\nEvaluate proactive payment acceleration strategies\, such as funding bulk material purchases or business growth\, against the cost and unpredictability of pay-when-paid.\n\n\n\n \n\n11:00 – 11:50 am \nTransforming Construction Finance with AI-First Intelligence \nPresenters: Kevin Bright\, Director of Product\, ProNovos; Denver Sperry\, Sales Engineer\, ProNovos \nMost construction platforms still expect your team to hunt for answers: pull a report\, build a spreadsheet\, cross-reference three systems\, and hope the numbers agree. Nova works differently. Beyond the dashboards and visualizations\, Nova lets you ask a direct question about any project or financial matter\, in plain language\, and get the answer. No report to build first. \nThat shift matters more than it sounds. It’s the difference between a team spending its time chasing numbers and a team spending its time thinking about what the numbers mean. Kevin Bright and Denver Sperry will show what that looks like in practice and unpack why it’s possible: Nova was built AI-first\, not retrofitted with an AI feature bolted onto an existing system. \nThat distinction\, AI-first versus bolt-on\, is also behind a decision more contractors are facing right now: build a custom AI financial tool in-house\, or buy one already built for the job. This session touches on what separates a platform that holds up under real financial scrutiny (audit trails\, data reconciliation\, security) from one that only works in the demo\, and why that gap is wider than it looks. \n\nLearning objectives (NASBA\, Information Technology field of study) \n\nDescribe how natural-language AI querying changes the way construction professionals access project and financial data compared to traditional dashboards and manual reporting.\nDistinguish between AI-first platform architecture and AI features bolted onto legacy systems\, and identify the practical reliability and risk implications of each.\nEvaluate the operational\, security\, and maintenance tradeoffs of building a custom AI financial tool in-house versus purchasing a purpose-built platform.\n\n\n\n \n\n12:00 – 1:00 pm \nLunch and Networking \n\n \n\n1:00 – 1:50 pm \nWhat Your CPA Wishes You Knew About Technology and AI \nLed by: John O’Bryan\, Content Marketing Manager\, ProNovos \nYour CPA sees more than your books. Across their client roster\, they see which contractors are using technology and AI to get ahead\, and which ones are still doing everything the hard way. This session puts that vantage point in the room. \nIn this round-robin discussion\, led by John O’Bryan\, various CPA professionals will share what they’re actually seeing across their client base: how their best-run clients are using technology and AI to manage their financials\, where the rest of their clients are falling behind\, and what they’d tell every contractor in the room if they could speak freely. Expect a direct\, unfiltered perspective on the gap between contractors who are ahead of the curve and everyone else. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer sense of what their own CPA might be thinking but hasn’t said out loud\, and a starting point for closing the gap. \n\nLearning objectives (NASBA\, Specialized Knowledge field of study) \n\nIdentify the technology and AI adoption patterns CPAs observe among their best-performing construction clients.\nDescribe the practical gaps between contractors who effectively use technology and AI for financial management and those who do not.\nEvaluate opportunities to apply CPA-observed best practices in technology and AI adoption within their own organization.\n\n\n\n \n\n2:00 – 2:50 pm \nSession to Be Announced Coming soon \nSpeaker and session details will be confirmed shortly. Check back for updates. \n\n \n\n2:50 – 3:00 pm \nBreak \n\n \n\n3:10 – 4:00 pm \nFour Generations\, One Jobsite: Same Team\, Different Wiring \nSpeaker: Samantha Lake\, COO\, ProNovos \nWhether it’s the jobsite or the office\, today’s construction workforce often has Baby Boomers\, Gen X\, Millennials\, and Gen Z working side by side\, each shaped by a completely different set of formative events\, communication habits\, and expectations of work itself\, which is the root of most of the friction people chalk up to personality or attitude. \nThis session breaks down what’s actually driving those misunderstandings: the values\, communication preferences\, and biases that come standard with each generation\, and why what looks like resistance\, entitlement\, or disengagement is often just a different operating system for how someone was wired to work. Attendees consistently leave this session with a moment of “oh\, that’s why this keeps happening” with someone (or some generation) they’ve been struggling to work with. \nFrom there\, the session gets practical: how to communicate in a way that actually lands with each generation\, where technology fits into closing the gap (and where it doesn’t)\, and how to build mentorship and knowledge-sharing structures that turn generational differences into a strength instead of a source of friction. \n\nLearning objectives (NASBA\, Personnel/Human Resources field of study) \n\nIdentify the defining characteristics\, values\, and communication preferences of Baby Boomers\, Generation X\, Millennials\, and Generation Z in the workplace.\nDescribe common sources of generational friction and bias\, and how they surface in day-to-day communication and collaboration.\nApply practical strategies\, including communication adjustments\, mentorship structures\, and targeted technology use\, to reduce generational friction and strengthen team collaboration.\n\n\n\n \n\n4:10 – 5:00 pm \nSession to Be Announced Coming soon \nSpeaker and session details will be confirmed shortly. Check back for updates. \n\n \n\nEvening \nEvening Event Coming soon \nWe’re planning something to close out the day.
