The Build Safe Connection 2025 Conference reached a major milestone in Massachusetts this year, drawing 900 construction leaders, business owners, and industry influencers for a day centered on leadership, safety innovation, workforce development, and business growth. The event, founded and led by occupational safety expert Rony Jabour, has quickly evolved into one of the most recognized construction leadership gatherings in New England.
Held on December 6 in Boston, the conference marked its largest turnout yet, tripling its attendance since its first edition, which launched with 300 participants. The growth underscores rising demand for leadership-level conversations in the construction sector, as well as a deeper cultural shift toward safety, emotional intelligence, and human-centered management.
A High-Impact Speaker Lineup
Attendees heard from a diverse group of speakers who explored the intersection of leadership, communication dynamics, employee relations, and organizational excellence. Among the most anticipated presenters was Tiago Brunet, the renowned international author and leadership strategist whose talk centered on emotional intelligence, communication, and employer–employee relationships.
Rony Jabour—recognized nationally as a leading voice in occupational safety—delivered a keynote highlighting leadership responsibility and how construction companies can prepare for the next era of safety and compliance. A series of successful Massachusetts construction entrepreneurs also shared case studies on scaling businesses, integrating new technologies, and building resilient teams in a competitive labor market.
Together, the speaker lineup provided a full-spectrum experience blending leadership science, business development, workforce culture, and safety best practices.
Engaged Participants and Strong Networking
Throughout the conference, the atmosphere remained energetic, with attendees actively participating in Q&A sessions, peer discussions, and structured networking opportunities. Many participants emphasized the unique blend of personal development and practical industry insights.
Juliana Paizante, a Boston-area construction entrepreneur, captured the sentiment of many in attendance, noting:
“This event was extraordinary. The quality of the speakers, the leadership lessons, and the networking opportunities make it the best event I’ve ever attended in Massachusetts.”
Her remarks reflected widespread appreciation for the event’s ability to inspire while offering actionable business strategies.
Rony Jabour’s Vision and the Growth of BSC
As the creator and driving force behind Build Safe Connection, Rony Jabour continues to shape the program’s direction. With over 50,000 workers trained across the country, his reputation in safety leadership remains central to the conference’s mission.
In reflecting on the 2025 event, Jabour said:
“Our mission is to elevate leaders, protect workers, and strengthen the construction community in Massachusetts. This year’s event exceeded every expectation, and the energy in the room was extraordinary.”
His approach—merging leadership development with rigorous safety education—has established BSC as a transformative movement rather than just an annual event.
A Historic First: The Brazilian Construction Expo
One of the signature additions to Build Safe Connection 2025 was the introduction of the first-ever Brazilian Construction Expo in Massachusetts. More than 20 Brazilian-owned construction businesses showcased new tools, technologies, materials, and specialist services. This new expo segment highlighted the growing economic influence of the Brazilian construction community in New England and opened doors to new cross-industry partnerships.
A Defining Moment for Massachusetts Construction
As the conference wrapped, participants left with new relationships, strategic insights, and a renewed commitment to elevating the standards of leadership, communication, and safety within the industry.
Jabour closed by reinforcing BSC’s continued mission:
“BSC continues to grow because leaders are hungry for connection, direction, and transformation. And this community is ready for the next level.”
With growing influence, major industry partnerships, and an expanding regional footprint, Build Safe Connection is increasingly seen as a defining force in the future of construction leadership and innovation in Massachusetts.
