Growing Stronger, Together.
The ground under this industry is shifting…fast. This February in Chandler, LICA is meeting it on every front: stronger businesses built to handle what’s coming, a workforce developed with the people and partners who can grow it, and a clear line of sight to where opportunity is headed next. Whether the work is grading, site development, infrastructure, agriculture, environmental restoration, or water management, LICA stands behind every contractor building this industry forward. Contractors leave with ideas they can implement, relationships they can use, resources they can put to work, and a stronger voice in an industry that’s only getting more complex.
That’s the purpose of EVOLVE.

Set against the Sonoran Desert, Wild Horse Pass gives LICA the space to do more than meet. With committee meetings moving virtually ahead of the convention, the 2027 schedule opens more time to Strengthen Your Business, Build Your Workforce, and Expand Your Opportunities through education, collaboration, and conversations with fellow contractors and industry partners.
Wild Horse Pass also gives attendees plenty to enjoy when the day’s sessions are done. Restaurants and bars, the casino, pools and spa are all right at the resort, with golf and more nearby. It’s the kind of place where you can grab dinner with people you met that day, continue a conversation over a drink, or simply enjoy some Arizona sunshine — making the time together outside the meeting room part of the convention, too.
A discounted LICA room block is available for convention attendees. Reserve early! Rooms are limited and released as the block fills.
Full convention registration will open in October, with complete schedule and details.
