INTRODUCTION

On August 5-7, 2026, the Institute for Leadership in Capital Projects (I-LinCP) is presenting the 2026 Lone Star Sustainability Forum | Making Impact Through the Built Environment.  This year's theme is NEXT-GEN - Looking Ahead. Building Beyond.

Looking Ahead. Building Beyond.

The future of sustainable design and construction is coming into focus — and at this year’s Lone Star Sustainability Forum, we’re looking straight into the crystal ball.

Next-Gen explores what’s on the horizon for the built environment: the innovations, technologies, and mindsets that are reshaping how we design, build, and lead. From regenerative cities and carbon-storing materials to intelligent energy grids, human-centered data, and cross-generational leadership, we’ll dive into what’s emerging now — and what’s just over the horizon.

This isn’t about maintaining momentum. It’s about anticipating transformation — reimagining sustainability as something that not only conserves resources but actively restores and inspires.

Through bold keynotes, interactive panels, and hands-on collaboration, the 2025 Forum will challenge us to think beyond today’s goals and design for tomorrow’s possibilities. Together, we’ll explore the ideas, systems, and people shaping a Texas — and a planet — that thrives for generations to come.

Join us in this gathering of professionals, do-ers, and visionaries, where collaboration, knowledge sharing, and actionable insights are paramount. Wherever you work or engage in the built-environment, a public or private Owner, designer, builder, sustainability advocate, attorney, consultant, developer, student, or an enthusiast eager to make a difference, this Forum provides an engaging platform for diverse perspectives to converge.
