CEU 1: BIOPHILIA, The Soul of the Design Process
1:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Location: Florense - 3rd Floor
The concepts of Biophilia “love of life” and Biophilic Design are growing as they are now part of several major building certification programs intending to promote human health and well-being. Such terminologies and supporting research are relatively new, however, our interconnection with nature is as ancient as our species. Only in more recent times, since the introduction of industrialization, electricity and modern technologies, have we become increasingly disconnected from our biocentric roots. Incorporating nature and natural systems & processes back into our built environment is the key to shifting how we design our world—to be more resilient and balanced.

CEU 6: Scaling Your Firm, Real Life Execution
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Florense - 3rd Floor
We understand "the why" of scaling our business. We want to make more money, we want to service more clients, we want to be able to take time away from our business. We go to qualified experts for “the how” to do it. We learn the principles for scaling, the steps to take. But then we are in “the doing” of it. This is when we need to hear from our peers who have been done it. We need the life lessons, hard learned and the chance to ask the specifics in executing those essential steps. Join us for an in depth discussion on scaling your design firm with colleagues who are doing it.
