Last week, I finally attended my first #AECTechCon on May 7 and 8 at the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, MO, just outside St. Louis. This event had been on my radar for a while, and it did not disappoint. It offered a solid mix of learning and knowledge sharing around AEC tech, plus a strong expo hall. The usual suspects were there, along with some standout locals and a few new-to-me gems (you really need to check out iPlanTables).

The keynotes were strong, the cornhole tournament was chaotic in the best way, and the schedule left room to network or catch your breath after a long day of sessions, booth duty, or both.

100 Days of AI – Phase 1 Recap

As you may or may not know I’ve been participating in the #100DaysOfAI since January 1st, 2024. I wanted to do a recap of the challenge, for those thinking about doing it, and also as a way for me to entrench what I’ve learned a little deeper by sharing with others. So I’m kicking off with Phase One.
