12Strong Bootcamp

EQUIP LEADERS, LEVERAGE OPPORTUNITIES, INITIATE RELATIONSHIPS.
November 17 - 18, 2026

SMACNA has partnered with Pioneer iQ to offer a 12Strong Bootcamp for member firms. The 12Strong Bootcamp is designed for leaders in the mechanical and sheet metal industry who are stepping into greater responsibility and need a clear, practical approach to leadership.


 


 
What it takes to lead a design and construction team in 2026 is way more complicated. People are more complicated. How we approach, design, and build our communities and infrastructure has evolved tremendously. How we lead, inspire, and deploy people and teams has not. The 12Strong Bootcamp equips men and women who choose to lead people and teams; using projects to develop people, not just paychecks.
This 6-week leadership experience includes a two-day Bootcamp. During the event, leaders will:
  • Be equipped with new tools and insights that will enable them to lead high-impact teams.
  • Learn and practice new leadership concepts with other Design & Construction peers in the KC area.
  • Initiate new potential teaming relationships.
