LIVE: A look at Day 1 of MEP Force 2020 on the Bridging the Gap Podcast. This special episode features a round table from some industry and podcast veterans: Rob McKinney, Nathan Wood, Travis Voss, and James Simpson. They unpack the biggest trends and conversations coming out of the conference and the trades. Two of our biggest takeaways? 1) Tons of folks in the industry (1300 of them!) are hungry to network and connect. 2) Amy Marks' Keynote, The Rise of the Subcontractor struck a chord with listeners across the globe. Some more about the amazing panel joining us this week:

Known as the ConAppGuru and a co-host on the ConTech Crew Podcast, Rob McKinney is a self-taught construction technologist who began his construction career as the Safety Director for JM Wilkerson Construction. He is now on a mission to educate the industry about the uses for new apps and technology on projects. 

As the Product Manager for eVolve Mechanical, James Simpson has a passion for driving innovation utilizing ConTech applications. He has a self-proclaimed “OCD for innovation” and is leading the charge in revolutionizing the industry as well as developing all those in it.
