Awesome Keynotes: Our speaker line up is top notch. Bill McCon- nell, CEO of Vertex, is back to share the industry outlook. Sandra Paret, CEO of STG Design, will share insight into the workplace design of the future. To close out the conference, former architect and now CEO of Janus Motorcycles, Richard Worsham, will share an inspiring story of design and entrepreneurial adventure. We even have a line-up of these beautiful machines on-site so you can experience them yourself. For you bikers, we’ll have an organized ride through the mountains after the conference concludes on Friday. Return to the red carpet: Our highly acclaimed black-tie awards gala returns on the evening of the first full conference day, Thursday. This new schedule will allow you to map out your own Rocky Mountain adventure Friday afternoon, or to head home and get a full weekend in. So pack your bags, dry clean that gala gown and tuxedo, and party hop over to Denver, Colorado. If you’ve ever been to a Zweig Group Awards Gala, you know we like to celebrate success in large fashion. Doing it the best we can: The in-person event takes places in No- vember 3-5 and will be a highly-anticipated return to responsible in- person events with an awesome schedule of speakers and networking sessions. Because of the on-going pandemic, we’ve worked hard to design an event that balances freedom and safety. As such, we have several features you should know about: 1. Plenty of space – We have lots of room indoors and outdoors for our event, so distancing is not an issue. 2. Event space is secluded –The event space is contained and away from the common areas of the hotel. That means our event space is all ours; you will not need to leave our space for any of the learning sessions, and there should not be other hotel guests moving though our space. Additionally, elevators with direct access to the guest rooms are in our space, meaning you shouldn’t have to move through other areas of the hotel if you choose not to. 3. We will adapt as necessary — the space and experience will adapt to current guidelines to keep attendees safe, and to allow us to have a great in-person experience. Hyatt precautions will be in place. So hop on the ElevateAEC jet and let’s take the pillars of our 2021 Elevate AEC Conferecne and Awards Gala – network, learn and cel - ebrate – to the next level as we elevate the industry together.
