U40 SUMMIT INSTRUCTS AND INSPIRES THE AEC INDUSTRY'S EMERGING LEADERS

摘要

Intergenerational communication and situational strategic planning were the focus of BD+C's 4th Annual Under 40 Leadership Summit. The event attracted 78 of the industry's elite younger architects, designers, engineers, and construction professionals who, over two and a half days of networking and idea generation, were put through their problem-solving paces. The summit, held in mid-September in New York City, featured several AIA-accredited architectural tours of architecturally significant neighborhoods in Manhattan, as well as a backstage tour of the Renzo Piano-designed New York Times Building in Midtown. The centerpiece of the summit was two half-day-long workshops. Expert moderators led attendees in hands-on activities related to project management: understanding differing perspectives of project players, embracing new ideas, and adjusting strategies to meet shifting circumstances.
