We’re counting down the days (20 to be exact) before the AIA Conference on Architecture hits San Francisco, June 7-10. Its the place to be as thought leaders and innovators, culture bearers, policy-makers and AEC professionals and practitioners alike gather to explore our shared future and to “define, design, and connect across industries to build it”. TEF is thrilled to be a part of the exciting lineup of seminars, tours, and open houses.
