Networking, Roundtables and Educations Sessions

The ACEC Coalitions will host their annual Winter Coalitions Meeting  March 6-7, 2023 in Tampa Florida.  – This premiere event is an opportunity for firm leaders to gather for committee working sessions, roundtables, project presentations, education, and peer-to-peer networking. These semi-annual meetings are an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the everyday challenges of managing a firm.
