Tooey Courtemanche, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Procore, to Deliver Keynote Address at Building for Tomorrow Summit
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Building for Tomorrow Summit, a national gathering focused on reshaping the resilience, sustainability, and long-term viability of America's built environment, is pleased to announce that Tooey Courtemanche, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Procore Technologies (NYSE:PCOR) will headline the summit's keynote session in a fireside chat with George Guszcza, CEO of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS).
The Building for Tomorrow Summit gathers leaders from both the public and private sectors, including policymakers, infrastructure experts, researchers, and industry innovators, to create a unified approach to improving lifeline-infrastructure resilience and smart capital investment across water, energy, communications, transportation, and built environment systems.
Courtemanche has guided Procore from its early days to become a leading global provider of construction management software, supporting millions of users and transforming how the built environment is planned, constructed, and maintained. His unique perspective at the intersection of technology, construction, and scalable infrastructure innovation makes him an ideal voice to open the Summit's initiative to build resilient, future-proof systems at scale.
"I've seen firsthand how connected technology can accelerate progress and strengthen the infrastructure we depend on most," said Courtemanche. "But driving this mission-critical work forward takes more than technology alone—it requires bringing people together to align policies, building codes, and investment strategies. NIBS is at the forefront of this effort, and I'm excited to join the Building for Tomorrow Summit to help advance the resilient, future-proof infrastructure that will serve our communities for generations to come."
Attendees at the Summit can anticipate Courtemanche's keynote speech on Wednesday, January 28th at 8:30 a.m., which will lay the foundation for two days of strategic sessions, collaborative workshops, and public–private dialogue focused on turning lessons from recent disasters into enduring national infrastructure reform.
