Pre-Conference Chat is open!


Hello Reader,

If you couldn't tell by all the emails, we're very excited about the Design & Build San Antonio Conference this week.

It looks like some of you are, too.

The pre-conference chat is already starting to become active: https://app.events.ringcentral.com/events/aibd-design-build-san-antonio/reception

If you've already registered and plan to attend either online or in person, log in and say hi to everyone! Tell us where you're traveling from and what excites you most about the conference.

If you can't make it, we understand.

But we would be remiss not to mention that you can register and watch the replays later.

This is the fastest and most affordable way to get access to the replays: registering now -- AIBD.org/DesignBuildSanAntonio

Once you do, you're still welcome to post in the chat and participate in any other ways you see fit!

Can't wait to see your posts,
The A-Team

P.S. If you post anything on social media regarding the conference, don't forget to use the hashtags #AIBD2024 and #CreatingWherePeopleLive.

If you post about ARDA, please include #ARDA2024 :)

Client revisions, code changes, proposal after proposal — and somewhere in all of it, the big-picture stuff gets pushed to the back burner. The skills you meant to sharpen. The peers you meant to connect with. The credentials you meant to finish. AIBD's Design+Build Cleveland (aka The AIBD Annual Conference) exists to fix that in four days flat. From July 29–August 1 at Metropolitan at The 9, the AIBD Annual Conference brings...

The entry window for the American Residential Design Awards (ARDA) is closing soon, but there is still a fast, low-friction way to get your work in front of the judges: enter the Working Drawings category. If you already have a solid set of construction documents, you’re closer to “ARDA-ready” than you think. In fact, this is the one category where you don’t have to chase down new photography or create marketing copy from scratch—you can submit the drawings you’re already using in the field....

Hello Reader, Congrats on surviving Monday and crushing Tuesday. Now, Wednesday beckons you to take a break and step into a pattern of discovery. Welcome to the Midweek Meander. Did someone forward this to you? Please consider subscribing. I’m writing to you this week from the front porch of the Southernmost House in Key West, Florida.
