2023 AEC Update & Forecast Flyer RV

Every year we wrap up with a look at the year, a review of the challenges, and then look ahead for the new year. Whether you are an owner, an architect, a contractor, a supplier, or business support this program will equip you with state of the design and construction industry in the region. David brings his results of surveys to local design firms and shares primary data to update us on the state of design services. Maggie will share details on what and how we are doing as a region. And, Erin will share an update on construction and challenges as well as the forecast for 2024.

This is a don’t miss opportunity and one of our best attended programs of the year!
