An (un)conference for the built world
We created this summit as an alternative to traditional conferences.
Small groups. Honest dialogue. No stages. No panels.
The people in the room shape the week.
We bring the structure and spirit of Verbier and Montauk to Wyoming.
Same philosophy. New landscape.
This is where relationships deepen and ideas sharpen.
Welcome to the Jackson Hole Summit.
WHO ATTENDS
Thirty to forty leaders across construction, real estate, infrastructure, engineering, capital, and policy.
Senior operators who run major projects and portfolios. Series B+ founders who are scaling globally. And the investors that fund them.
This is a peer group built for real dialogue. People who understand the responsibility of shaping cities, systems, and outcomes.

FORMAT & EXPERIENCE
MORNINGS
We meet each morning from 8 to 11am. The sessions move fast, enough to provoke real discussion without the fluff.
The mornings set the tone for the day. Sharp perspectives. No slides required.
AFTERNOONS
Afternoons are spent skiing the Grand Tetons and exploring Yellowstone. Daily aprés ski parties at the Mangy Moose.
Conversations over a cocktail in the afterglow of a great ski day.
EVENINGS
Evenings bring everyone back together. Morning discussions become dinner table debates.
Ideas sharpen. Foundations are established. Relationships take shape.
SUMMIT THEMES
These six themes come straight from the conversations and debates at our Montauk Summit in October. The descriptions below reflect the ideas that surfaced most often among senior operators, investors, and policymakers. The full Montauk research report is in development and will be released soon. Until then, the article linked here offers the best preview of the analysis behind these themes.
AI & ROBOTICS
Automation, computer vision, and predictive analytics are moving from back office to field operations, lifting productivity and safety.
CAPITAL FLOWS & INVESTMENT
Venture, corporate, and institutional capital are converging around construction tech and climate tech, financing modernization across assets.
POLICY & REGULATION
New rules are turning climate targets into compliance obligations, from performance standards and low-carbon procurement to circularity requirements.
DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE & DATA CENTERS
AI’s physical footprint is now a built-world priority. Power, cooling, siting, and modular delivery redefine program planning and risk.
SUSTAINABILITY & CIRCULAR MATERIALS
Climate targets, embodied carbon limits, and new material standards are reshaping procurement and project delivery. The focus is closing the gap between ambitious sustainability goals and the operational realities of large-scale development.
LABOR FORCE & LIMITS OF SCALE
Severe labor shortages and an aging workforce make tech-enabled augmentation, training, and safety a core strategy, not a nice-to-have.
THE VENUE
We are hosting the Jackson Hole Summit at Snow King Resort. Close to the mountain. Quiet enough for real work. Easy access to town and the National Park.
Rooms are set aside for our group. Shuttles run throughout the day.
Spouses and partners are welcome.

help set the agenda for THE BUILT WORLD
Jackson Hole continues a journey that began in Verbier and took shape in Montauk. The setting changes. The people remain. Each summit builds on the last, carrying ideas forward rather than starting over.
The conversations here extend beyond the week. They shape how leaders approach capital, technology, policy, and delivery, and are captured as research that informs the broader industry.
This gathering creates space for candid discussion and clear thinking, away from noise and spectacle. People return because the relationships are real and the agenda set here helps define what comes next.
