Reminder: In-Person Registration Closes Tonight


Hello Reader,

If you've signed up to join us in San Antonio, Texas, this week, we're excited to meet with you in person!

And if you plan on attending the King William Street historic walking tour, please RSVP (if you haven't already done so).

You can stop reading this email and enjoy what's left of your weekend.

But if you haven't registered to attend in person, we know that sometimes it takes up to a few days out before you know if you'll be able to leave your desk.

We hope that's the case!

Now is the time to let us know you're coming to town.

Our Conference Committee has a great schedule lined up (with all eight recertification CEs covered).

Check it out at AIBD.org/DesignBuildSanAntonio.

Sorry for the weekend interruption. As mentioned, we understand the last-minute lifestyle of a building designer.

-The A-Team

P.S. - That goes for those of you considering attending virtually. The business meetings are free, and conference tickets can be purchased up until it begins. AIBD.org/DesignBuildSanAntonio.
