Master Builders' Dialogues

The Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia

This year’s Master Builders’ Dialogues will take you behind the scenes with some of Philadelphia’s leading ACE professionals.

Museum of the American Revolution

After an unprecedented period of disruption, stress and uncertainty, join your fellow ACE professionals to rediscover why you entered this industry to begin with: the sheer joy of thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed buildings. Riffing on the popular Smithsonian Channel show, this year’s Master Builders’ Dialogues will take you behind the scenes as some of Philadelphia’s leading architects, engineers and builders explain how they solved a particularly intriguing design or construction challenge to create a remarkable new element of the built environment. Your half-day program includes a networking lunch (remember networking?!) and concludes with a cocktail reception in historic Carpenters’ Hall, where Philadelphia’s Master Builders have been meeting for nearly 250 years. Whether you're a seasoned leader or an emerging professional--or somewhere in between--you’ll enjoy this fun, inspiring and educational session.Schedule:Registration:11:30 a.m. - NoonNetworking Lunch: Noon-1:00 p.m.Session 1: Architecture, 1:00-1:45 p.m.Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DCStephen Kieran, principal at KieranTimberlake, will discuss the firms plans to renovate and expand the Library's historic, Paul Cret-designed building.
