November 18 & 19, 2026 | Phoenix, Arizona, USA
2026 Deconstruction + Reuse Conference
The annual Deconstruction + Reuse Conference, organized by Build Reuse, convenes hundreds of industry professionals committed to advancing reuse practices within the building sector. This conference is consistently praised by participants as one of the most inspiring, impactful, and solutions-oriented gatherings in the field.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Reuse Rising,” focusing on how deconstruction and building material reuse can drive transformation, resilience, and renewal within our communities. We invite you to join us at On Jackson, located in the vibrant warehouse district of downtown Phoenix, for an engaging exploration of practical strategies, case studies, and success stories from across the nation and around the globe.
The conference features two full days of dynamic programming, including inspiring keynote addresses, educational presentations, and thought-provoking discussions. Additionally, there will be a members meeting and various networking opportunities. New this year: pre-conference shoulder events and facility tours will be available on Tuesday, November 17 and Friday, November 20 for further enrichment.
Build Reuse, along with our host city partners Stardust Building Supplies and Circular Arizona, look forward to welcoming you to this transformative event.
