Construction Forum is continuing our FORWARD: From Talk to Focused Action series on Thursday, July 23 with a conversation that goes to the heart of where St. Louis is headed—and who is helping shape it.


Tom Finan will be sitting down with Steve Smith, Founder and CEO of New + Found.


Steve has helped reshape the physical landscape of St. Louis through projects that have redefined how we think about historic preservation, adaptive reuse, placemaking, and investment. Through New + Found and Lawrence Group, his work has influenced more than $900 million in development.


On July 23, we'll look back at what we got right, what surprised us, what we've learned, and where St. Louis goes next. We'll talk about downtown, neighborhoods, innovation, collaboration, and why this region's greatest opportunities may still be ahead of us.


Some conversations are worth having more than once.


There is no cost to attend but registration is required.
