How are you networking during the pandemic?
There are plenty of virtual events being held by so many organizations in our industry. The ability to sign-on and connect without travel can actually be seen as positive because it makes these events more accessible; however, it’s always important to reach out to others with a personal email or note. I find that my contacts are always happy to hear from me, even if it is just a quick personal note checking in. We all can appreciate some personal touch during these highly virtual times.
What trend(s) will dominate your industry in the next year?
Certainly, this current pandemic is and will continue to have a large impact on the design and construction industry. Industry professionals will be challenged to creatively design socially distanced spaces that people can inhabit and feel comfortable in.
