2025 is almost over; do you have all your CE's?


We make sure that Continuing Education (CE) credits are easily accessible. We host at least 10 free CE watch parties annually.

These events are made possible by our Corporate and Associate Members, which are AEC industry companies that are dedicated to supporting you, just like the AIBD.

There will be a few more opportunities to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from AIBD webinars this year. However, this may be the final free watch party of the year due to the upcoming holiday week.

There’s no quiz, no need to use your credit card, and you don’t even need to be an AIBD member. Simply attend the entire event and earn your CE.

You should pay attention, too. This one will help your business next year.

With a handful of simple strategies, you can effectively manage scope creep and protect your bottom line. These easy-to-implement solutions will have a significant impact on your project management and profitability.
