What You'll Learn

• Sustainable DC 2.0: How are DC architects and designers implementing sustainable practices throughout their designs? What has been done so far within DC's renewable energy plan and what can we expect in the future?
• What are the latest trends, tools and technology being implemented into new and current projects? How is it different from the past years?
• How are DC and local architects ensuring the preservation of historical buildings? What are the challenges and how are they being overcome?
• With inflation and supply chain issues continuing to be a challenge, how are architects strategizing to hit all of their client demands?

How You'll Do More Business: 

From bird-friendly glass to the preservation of historical buildings, DC is stepping up to ensure the best of the best for their city. In 2020, the area along with many other major cities committed to achieving net-zero building operations by 2050. However, since then, many different types of obstacles have challenged the way designers and architects are thinking about how they work. Join us as we dig deeper into the decision-making on design, investments, sustainability, repositioning and more!
