Spring is (almost) in the air for most of us, and with that comes a general increase in onsite construction activity throughout the region. We are also experiencing the normal annual pricing notices and increases from many manufacturers, which have a heightened importance now as we may have to deal with the repercussions of likely tariffs that have been widely discussed and announced.
All that said, it is never easy! Not in the building industry….
AEC professionals need a strong and reliable network- one that is responsive and that spans various technical and logistical capabilities. CSI is known for providing that kind of network, and one of the best places to build and nurture that network is at the annual regional CSI conference. This year it is May 15-17, in Plymouth MA. More information and registration links can be found at: https://nercsi.com/2025-region-conference-about-schedule/.
The title of our conference in 2025 is: “Longevity/ Durability/ Resiliency- Building on History to Create the Future”. We have some excellent AIA LU’s, some great networking opportunities, leadership workshops, and plenty of fun and good company along the way.
Attendee (and sponsor) registration is open; please confirm your attendance today! This is the Region’s most important event of the year.
As always, if you are a member in the region and you’d like to reach out to me for any reason, please feel free to via the Contact section of our NER website. I hope to see you in person in Plymouth!
