Exton, PA (PRWEB) April 15, 2005 -- If you’ve been talking with your
colleagues about seeing them at the National Specifiers Conference this June
21-22 in Orlando, confirm your plans by April 15 while the $200 savings is still
in effect.
“For architectural and engineering specification
professionals, this event is a must-attend,” recommends Mark Kalin, FAIA, FCSI,
LEED and President of Kalin Associates, Inc. “The National Specifiers Conference
is the most forward-looking conference on specification writing for the
construction industry.”
For the first time in decades, specification
writers are experiencing massive changes in their role in the construction
industry. From specifiers influencing design, to defining LEED requirements, to
the specifier as knowledge-manager, to the new Masterformat, to near-instant
document production, specification roles are evolving.
“This conference
is the ideal place to discuss the impact these changes have on you, and to talk
with industry experts about what other trends are ahead in the future,” explains
Kalin.
Leading this in-depth look at the future direction of
specifications is keynote presenter, Ted Smith, President of ARCOM and provider
of AIA Masterspec – the most widely used master specification system in the
world. Smith’s global perspective on specifications is a tremendous resource in
terms of understanding and predicting future trends.
Following Smith,
some of the most successful specifiers and specification consultants in the
country will host presentations, including unique sessions on specification
consulting as a business and as a career, and the importance of creating
dialogue between in-house writers and independents.
Presenting will be
representatives from AIA Masterspec, BSD SpecLink, SpecsIntact, UFGS, ARCAT as
well as SCIP President John Regener, Dennis Hall, Michael Chambers, Dane
Dodd-Hansen, David Metzger, David Lorenzini, Charles Heuer, Rik Master and
others. Sessions in the two-day conference include:
• Advances in Master
Specification Systems
• Computer-Assisted Specifications and Liability - How
Real the Risk?
• Using Automated Manufacturer’s Specifications and
Details/Specs On-Line
• Recent Changes in Standards and Building
