R-CON 2026 was held at Boise Centre in Boise, Idaho.
The published audience included VDC managers, reality capture leads, construction technologists, and enterprise owners deploying these tools. The expo also targeted built environment professionals actively evaluating construction technology.
It was most useful for VDC managers, reality capture leads and construction technologists deciding what to deploy, since the roughly 49 speakers were billed as coming from firms such as AECOM, Gilbane Building Company, DPR Construction, Esri and OpenSpace and the topics spanned LiDAR, drones, BIM and digital twins. Pricing was moderate at $499 for an Expo Pass and $795 for a Full Pass before the rise on 10/6/2026, but general contractors with no plans to adopt scanning or digital twin tools would have gotten less from it.
Construction technology and surveying crowds usually wear business casual or branded polos and jeans, with comfortable shoes for the expo floor and layers for Boise in October.
