Upcoming Chapter Meeting
Join us for an engaging and forward-thinking panel event exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the construction and design industry. Whether you're curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI tools, this session will offer practical insights and real-world applications you can take back to your work.
What to Expect:
- A dynamic discussion on the everyday use of AI bots in professional workflows, led by Erica or Ryan
- An inside look at how AI is transforming graphics and architectural presentations, presented by Stephan Hall of Anderson Mason Dale
- A potential third session focused on AI applications in coding, product data research, or submittals (stay tuned!)
This is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with others navigating the evolving intersection of architecture, construction, and technology.
Who Should Attend:
Architects, designers, contractors, project managers, and anyone interested in the future of AI in the built environment.
Why Attend:
Because AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. Let’s explore how to use it effectively, creatively, and responsibly.
More details coming soon—save your spot and be part of the conversation shaping the future of construction.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Until next year…
This conference remains a Denver Chapter Marketing favorite. Not just because we tend to sweep the awards (though we won’t pretend we don’t love that part). It’s the energy, the creativity, and the planning team that always shows up and shows out. From behind-the-scenes magic to unforgettable moments, this year delivered it all. Tours that inspired, events that connected, education that challenged us, and yes… even a little friendly investigation into whether those in construction (specifiers included!) can truly read the specs.
So while this is our slightly dramatic farewell, it comes with a big, bold, can’t-miss-it invitation: join us next year in Albuquerque. We promise more learning, more laughs, and maybe even more award-winning moments. Until then...keep building, keep specifying, and keep bringing the fun.
