The purpose of this seminar is to expose architectural and design firms to the variety of technologies that are available today – technologies that will impact the ability to communicate your design, collaborate with consultants and win more (and better) business.

The secret is some of these technologies are free and many you may already own!

This free seminar will feature a complimentary breakfast, exciting guests, valuable software giveaways, and a Q & A roundtable with some of Western Canada’s leading visionaries regarding architectural technologies.

This is an Architectural Institute of British Columbia Continuing Education System (AIBC CES) event and 3.0 Core Learning Units will be available.
