Participants need to be familiar with project outcomes (budget compliance, schedule compliance, etc.) and contracting methods, as well as the processes project teams engage in. Owners, architects, interior designers, engineers, and contractors with experience with all types of building projects, from commercial to industrial to infrastructure, are eligible.
