Event Details

COAA Connect is a highly unique, Owner-centric gathering of people at all levels of experience with one common trait - they all yearn to deliver better projects and have a more enjoyable experience.

The content is unrivaled, but the "secret sauce" is the general vibe (friendly & warm, yet intense & focused) and the moments and connections that happen outside of session rooms.  Attendees appreciate meeting peers from around the country who face similar challenges and relish the opportunity to give back through the COAA Cares initiative.
