The 4th International Society for Intelligent Construction (ISIC) international conference (ISIC 2024) will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, from September 10 to 12, 2024.

Intelligent construction technologies (ICT) are combinations of modern science and innovative construction technologies. The International Society for Intelligent Construction (ISIC) provides a forum for disseminating knowledge concerning the collection, analysis, and application of ICT for infrastructure. ISIC’s mission is to promote ICT applications to the life cycle of infrastructure (survey, design, construction, operation, and maintenance/rehabilitation) while adapting to environmental conditions and minimizing risk. The goals of ISIC are to improve the quality of construction, reduce costs, and promote safety. ISIC 2024’s theme is “Sustainability through Technologies”. It is organized and hosted by the ISIC North America Chapter and the National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP). ISIC 2024 is in partnership with the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA).
