XER Schedule Toolkit Strengthens International Industry Connections at Project Controls Expo USA 2026

XER Schedule Toolkit continued its engagement with the international project controls community at Project Controls Expo USA 2026, joining industry professionals in Washington, D.C. to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping modern project delivery.

Held from 5–7 October at Nationals Park, Washington, D.C., the event brought together project controls specialists and organisations working across major sectors, including infrastructure, transportation, energy, government and defence.

Participating as a Silver Partner, XER Schedule Toolkit was represented by Phil Shatz, who leads the Toolkit’s business development activities in the USA, meeting delegates throughout the event to discuss project scheduling, programme analysis and the importance of making complex project information more accessible.

With major projects becoming increasingly sophisticated, effective project controls depends on more than simply collecting schedule data. Teams must be able to interrogate programme information, understand emerging risks and communicate their findings clearly to support timely decision-making.

These challenges formed an important part of the conversations taking place at the XER exhibition stand.

XER Schedule Toolkit provides professionals with tools to view, interrogate and analyse project schedules, helping teams gain greater visibility of programme performance and identify potential issues within complex scheduling data.

Its capabilities are particularly relevant to organisations managing large programmes, where thousands of interconnected activities, changing dependencies and multiple project interfaces can make detailed analysis challenging.

Phil Shatz, who oversees Business Development for XER Schedule Toolkit in the USA, commented:

“Across the US, we’re seeing how important effective schedule analysis is becoming for organisations delivering large and technically complex projects.

Whether it’s infrastructure, energy, transportation or major construction programmes, project controls teams are dealing with significant volumes of scheduling data. The challenge is making sure that information can be interrogated effectively to identify risks, understand changes and support confident decision-making.

XER Schedule Toolkit provides a practical way to achieve that visibility, and events like Project Controls Expo USA give us an excellent opportunity to demonstrate those capabilities, build relationships and better understand the requirements of organisations operating across the American market.”

The event also provided an opportunity to demonstrate XER Schedule Toolkit’s capabilities to an international audience, connecting with professionals responsible for planning and controlling projects across a wide range of industries.

For organisations delivering major infrastructure and engineering programmes, the need for effective schedule analysis, clear reporting and greater collaboration remains consistent, regardless of project location or sector.

XER’s participation at Project Controls Expo USA reflects its continued commitment to engaging with the wider project controls industry, understanding the challenges facing professionals and supporting better use of project scheduling information.

Following a productive event in Washington, XER Schedule Toolkit looks forward to continuing the conversations and connections established throughout the conference.
