If Networking Is So Important, Then How Come No One Has Taught Me How
Location: Alliance Construction
Topic: In this session, @Keith Bailey from Articulated Intelligence strips networking down to what it really is: a learnable skill that can be practiced, improved, and leveraged for real results. Designed for professionals who want to stand out in a crowded field, build a recognizable personal brand, and be known for who they are, not just what they do.
Practical, engaging, and immediately applicable, this experience equips participants with language and behaviors they can use in client conversations, industry events, and everyday professional interactions.

Business Development In A Global Setting - A Panel Discussion
Location: DLR Group
Topic: Most firms say they want to scale their business development. But few are actually built for it. Local BD thrives on proximity—tight relationships, instinct, and knowing exactly how work gets won in your market. But once you stretch across offices, regions, or globally, that same approach starts to break. What worked locally doesn’t translate without structure.
Join us at DLR Group, as we get into what actually works when BD scales—how to align teams, avoid overlap, and build something that performs across markets without losing the edge that wins locally.
No theory. Just how it’s done.

"Lone Wolf to Leader" presented by Victoria Hatfield, Growth Plan, LLC
Location: Palace Construction HQ
Let’s be honest—business development in AEC has long relied on a few heroic rainmakers carrying the load. But that model? It’s outdated, unsustainable, and a growth bottleneck.
In this session, we explore why now is the moment to change the culture of business development in your firm—and how you can lead the shift. With generational turnover, shifting client expectations, and mounting pressure on mid-career talent, it’s no longer enough to chase leads. You need to build systems, enable your teams, and start orchestrating growth from the inside out.
We’ll break down:
The trends reshaping BD (spoiler: they’re already here)
What your role should look like as a strategic leader—not a solo chaser
How to influence the C-suite with a smart, no-fluff growth plan
Practical steps to build your technical BD team and stop being the only one carrying the torch
This isn’t about working harder. It’s about building smarter—and getting your firm ready for what’s next.
