The 2026 Deconstruction + Reuse Conference is coming to downtown Phoenix for the first time, bringing together hundreds of architects, contractors, developers, policymakers and industry professionals to explore innovative approaches to reducing construction waste and giving building materials a second life. Hosted by national nonprofit Build Reuse in partnership with Stardust Building Supplies and Circular Arizona, the conference will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and workshops focused on deconstruction, material recovery, adaptive reuse and the growing circular economy. Additional programming includes tours of local Phoenix reuse projects on Nov. 17 and a free community tour at Stardust on Nov. 20, offering a firsthand look at how salvaged materials are supporting sustainability and neighborhood revitalization across the Valley.
