On September 10, the SMPS-NY Long Island Affiliate brought AEC marketing and business development professionals together at H2M architects + engineers in Melville for an evening of networking, knowledge sharing, and conversation focused on Project Management.

The evening featured a presentation by Michael Giaramita of Group PMX, who shared insights into the project management process and its importance to the success of AEC projects. The discussion offered attendees an opportunity to better understand the project management perspective and explore how marketing, business development, and project teams can work more effectively together.

Following the presentation, attendees participated in an open roundtable discussion, exchanging experiences, best practices, and ideas from their own firms. The conversation highlighted the value of stronger communication and collaboration between marketing/BD professionals and project teams and how a better understanding of each other's roles can ultimately strengthen the pursuit and project delivery process.

The Knowledge Exchange also provided plenty of time for attendees to connect with fellow AEC professionals, reconnect with colleagues, and expand their professional networks over lite bites and refreshments.

Key takeaways from the evening included:

  • Better understand the project management process and the role it plays within AEC firms.
  • Strengthen collaboration between marketing, business development, and project management teams.
  • Share experiences and best practices with peers across the AEC industry.
  • Build stronger internal relationships by understanding the priorities and challenges faced by project teams.
  • Expand your professional network through meaningful peer-to-peer conversations.

A special thank you to Michael Giaramita and Group PMX for sharing his expertise and insights, and to H2M architects + engineers for graciously hosting the Long Island Affiliate and providing a welcoming space for professionals to connect and learn.

Thank you as well to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation. Events like the Long Island Knowledge Exchange demonstrate the value of bringing AEC marketing and business development professionals together to share knowledge, learn from one another, and strengthen the connections that help our industry thrive!
