At the Designing for Tomorrow seminar, attendees get the scoop on the latest cutting-edge materials, building information management software and digital marketing. Meanwhile, Aedas sponsors the global forum, where practitioners can rub shoulders with potential clients and partners from outside of North America and Europe.
