Meet The Generals
March 2021 The evolution of technology has been widely accepted by construction employers, evident by the estimating software programs, electronic plan rooms, email, project management software and general electronic dissemination of project bidding information. Such technology has led to a more efficient and productive workforce, capable of multi-tasking and organizing a variety of activities, projects and other events via a computer, smart phone or tablet while at home, at the office or at the job site. Unfortunately, with the advancement of technology, and COVID-19, comes the reduction of human interaction. Over the past number of years the Syracuse Builders Exchange created a unique networking event which brought our members back to a time where the personal interaction between project managers, general contractors and/or construction managers and subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers’ representatives all interacted on a personal level, communicating one-on-one, face to face and with a hand shake. The annual “Meet the Generals” networking event has been a huge success; however, this year’s event will be held for the first time virtually. Using some of the same technology that has replaced physical human interaction, this year’s event will look and feel vastly different, but will allow all of our members to achieve the same event objective. Check back for more details. |
