Are you a marketing or business development professional in the AEC industry? A manager or team leader aiming to integrate AI into your marketing operations? Then grab your laptop and discover how AI can benefit every AEC professional.

In a workshop environment, you’ll take part in interactive lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and group discussions. You’ll learn about integrating AI into three key AEC marketing tracks:

1. Client and Business Development – Leverage AI in CRM systems for enhanced client profiling and retention and use predictive modeling for targeted lead generation and client behavior analysis.
2. AI-enhanced Proposals – Streamline proposal creation with AI-assisted writing tools and implement AI for compliance checks and effective RFP/RFQ responses.
3. Implementation and Security Management – Maintain information security with AI tools and implement them throughout your organization.

After the workshop, join us for a networking happy hour with drinks and appetizers.  Note the workshop is from 1:00 to 5:00pm and the networking happy hour is from 5:00 to 6:00pm.
