Edmonton Flagship: State of the Industry

Our first Flagship up North in quite some time!

A flagship event is basically a happy hour with a 40-minute panel discussion wedged in the middle.

VENUE UPDATE: We were originally going to be at Habitat Studio, but pesky AGLC laws put a dent in that plan, so we are now a few streets over at The Bell in Scona! (Upstairs private space).

The discussion is an opportunity for local experts (see below) to have an honest conversation about operating in our industry. It's not a presentation, and we're not proclaiming to have any definitive answers! By hosting an open dialogue, we hope to provide some takeaways for the audience and shine a light on different perspectives. No right or wrong, just good discussion to promote collaboration.

The rest of the time is for folks to meet, greet, and eat!

The panel:

Sharon McCollum - Weaver Design Inc.

Jason Brown - Alair Sherwood Park

Sheldon Small - Iron River Surfaces

Moderator:

Byron Brooks - Brookwright + Builders & Brews

Notes on the conversation:

• B&B over-view. A quick rundown about why we're doing this, how we're doing it, and our appreciation for those that continue to join us!
• Costs. Are they going up, down, and how do you budget for them?
• Friction Points. Sourcing great trades, working with clients (the good and the bad), permitting... the list goes on!
• Opportunities. How do we find great projects and trade partners?
• Communication. With clients, with team members, and with colleagues

We'll have some food available, along with the first round!
