Investing in People, Processes & Technology to Drive ROI for Design Collaboration

Design collaboration within your project team can create cost, time, and performance efficiencies as well as identify scaling opportunities for long-term partnerships. Your collaboration strategy should start before you even begin thinking about the design project, by first, understanding your own needs and responsibilities, and then how these align with those of your partners.

Advancing Design Collaboration 2023 is North America’s only dedicated forum uniting forward-thinking designers, contractors and clients to confront the ongoing challenges with establishing, optimizing and maintaining collaborative design environments head on.
