Proud to announce that Mark Ganton, Principal at Ganton will be speaking at the AIA Smarter Together Series.

Ganton is partnering with The American Institute of Architects to present the forthcoming Smarter Together Series, an event that will inspire leadership and adaptation in the building products industry to foster collaboration with architects and building design professionals. This multi-day range of online programming will take place over the first two weeks of June 2021. Registration is now open online at https://together.aia.org/the-smarter-together-series/

The programming for the Smarter Together Series is being arranged to focus on one of four topic areas over four dates:

  • Wednesday, June 2: Assessing the state of the construction ecosystem.
  • Thursday, June 3: Analyzing the evolution of architectural practice.
  • Tuesday, June 8: Adapting new strategies for sales and marketing excellence.
  • Thursday, June 10: Aligning corporate values to drive new business value.

Together with experts from multiple disciplines in the industry, AIA is presenting this event to support its new Smarter Together Campaign, which aims to strengthen ties between the building products industry and the architecture profession.

We see the Smarter Together Series as a starting point for helping the industry find new ways to support architects and become strategic partners to innovate the built environment for all people. We’re thankful for Mark Ganton, Principal at Ganton, for his support of this event.
