Boom Times and Industry Evolution: Marketing and Business Development Best Practices
A Joint AIA Seattle and SMPS Seattle Fellows Forum
Seattle is in the midst of unprecedented construction, creating both business opportunities and operational challenges. At the same time, project delivery is rapidly evolving, with greater emphasis on collaborative models and team structures, growth in prefabricated systems and components, and rapidly evolving technology in our offices and on construction sites. What are the impacts for our marketing and business development programs? Where should we devote our people and financial resources? What’s the future we should be preparing for?
To answer these questions and more, AIA Seattle and SMPS Seattle (Society for Marketing Professional Services) have teamed up for a unique joint Fellows Forum, a highly interactive program combining observations and ideas from a range of industry leaders—all Fellows in either AIA or SMPS—with strong audience participation. This is a terrific opportunity for staff and leadership of firms of all sizes to jointly attend, share questions and perspective with the panelists, and bring back ideas to implement in your office. Come join this distinguished panel for proven ideas, diverse perspective and lively discussion. Light food, wine and beverages will be served.
