Procore Experts Meet for Insight Interchange at CWC Headquarters

CWC hosted the Procore Mid-Atlantic Community’s first-ever conference, Insight Interchange, bringing construction technology experts from the DC, MD, PA, VA, and WV regions together. Aimed to enhance organizations, Procore is the only real software platform in the construction industry that creates a central collaboration hub for owners, general contractors, specialty contractors, and other project collaborators across the entire project lifecycle.

The interactive event aimed to enhance organizations' Procore implementation by sharing ideas and best practices with activities designed to foster meaningful connections. Attendees explored action plans, workforce management, and project analytics while learning the newest features. Users collaborated to gain valuable insights that will propel their organizations forward.

CWC’s Construction Technology Manager, Jack Kwait-Blank, and CWC Partner and Superintendent, Eric Van Why, shared their extensive Procore knowledge.

Leading The Way in Construction Technology With Procore

CWC manages all projects using best-in-class technology. The cornerstone of CWC's project management is Procore, which we started integrating into our projects in 2016. Procore's mobile platform empowers efficient and timely use in the field.

“CWC is a leader in technology and Procore has had a positive impact on our project management. The Procore Insight Interchange was a great venue to get together with like-minded people that are looking for ways to improve our day-to-day process through technology and to trade perspectives with industry peers.” -Eric Van Why, CWC Partner & Superintendent

Practice Lead of Real Estate & Construction at Hartman Executive Advisors, Ronnie Kurlander, said, “Thank you Procore Technologies & Coakley & Williams Construction for having me as a speaker yesterday... the topic of Data Analytics is such a passion of mine... great seeing some clients and wonderful meeting new faces! Special shoutout to Jack Kwait-Blank for putting together a great event!”

Taking Procore Knowledge to New Heights Building the DMV

The exclusive opportunity to be part of the Procore Mid-Atlantic Community's first-ever Insight Interchange was a successful event tailor-made for Procore experts and those aspiring to enhance their usage to achieve maximum results. The event was an inspiring and enriching experience that took Procore knowledge and practices to new heights, and we're already looking forward to the next one.
