LCI Congress 2026 took place October 12–16, 2026.

LCI Congress 2026 was held at Signia by Hilton Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia.

Owners, designers, builders, trade partners, and project leaders attend LCI Congress.

The audience includes owners, designers, builders, trade partners, and project leaders with real project experience.

It is most useful for owners, designers, builders and trade partners already applying Lean on real projects, since the program included Gemba Day, Method Gym and four tracks, and the audience is described as practitioners with project experience. Those new to construction or seeking a pure product showcase would get less, because the week centered on practitioner exchange and Lean learning, with keynote names such as Will Guidara drawn from outside the industry.

Construction professionals at industry congresses usually wear business casual, such as khakis and polos or button-downs, with closed-toe shoes for any site-style Gemba visits and casual clothes for the golf outing.
