BD Guild Presents: The Longevity Edge
About this Event
Join BD Guild for The Longevity Edge: An industry conversation on longevity, relationships, and staying power for business development and operations in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Commercial Real Estate industries.
In architecture, engineering, construction, and commercial real estate, anyone can show up when the market is hot, the project list is full, and the introductions are easy.
The real question is: who lasts?
The Longevity Edge brings together respected leaders from business development, operations, construction, commercial interiors, and client services for a straight-up conversation about what it takes to build a career, a reputation, and a book of business that can survive market shifts, leadership changes, missed opportunities, tough pursuits, and long project cycles.
Join us for a candid discussion about the relationships that actually move business forward, the habits that separate trusted partners from forgettable vendors, and the kind of consistency it takes to stay relevant in a relationship-driven industry.
Moderated by Oscar De Las Salas, Gensler Associate & Director, Client Relationships, this panel will dig into the real dynamics between business development and operations, how trust is built before a project ever starts, and why staying power is one of the most valuable competitive advantages in the industry.
