ABOUT

RCN's BEGINNINGS

When Matthew Byrd launched Reality Capture Network (RCN) in April of 2020, he wasn't just creating another industry platform - he was building a movement. Drawing from his deep expertise in construction tech and reality capture, Byrd envisioned a way to transform how built environment professionals work, learn, and innovate together.

The podcast that ignited it all was just the beginning. Today, RCN pulses with passion across multiple channels: conferences brimming with new ideas, online media that's shaping the next generation of experts, committees that are writing the future's playbook, and a vibrant community that is relentlessly pushing boundaries through collaboration.

As a global network of industry leaders, RCN has become more than just an organization - it's become the beating heart of innovation in the built environment, where cutting-edge technology meets practical solutions, and where industry leaders come together to turn possibilities into reality.

We help individuals, companies, and entire sectors grow by providing education and connection with unrivaled depth and dedicated support.

Because excellence isn't a destination—it's how we show up every day. By setting extraordinary standards for ourselves, we create inspiration that permeates our professional community.

Innovation

Innovation is our lifeblood, We don’t just adapt to change, we spark it, by connecting people, educating on technology, and always striving for a better way to do things. Innovation is a pillar of RCN not just because of our love of it - but the world’s need for it.
