At the 20th annual LCI Congress, James Pease and Brittanie Campbell-Turner present on the topic of “How to Increase Adoption of the IPD Model by Using Blockchain.”

In this presentation, James and I talked about how it’s unquestionably the future to incorporate blockchain and smart contracts with construction contracting.

In this presentation, we focus on integrated project delivery contracting although blockchain can impact / streamline any contracting model pending the algorithms are built correctly.

James and I decided to focus IPD specifically because of the similarities of transparency contracting with both IPD and a distributed ledger technology.
