Hello Reader, This year's Design & Build North Myrtle Beach Conference showcased groundbreaking advancements in design technology and AI, setting new standards for our industry. Whether you attended but need a refresher, or you couldn't make it and need filled in, we've got you covered! We've compiled some key takeaways from the conference so that you can benefit from all the resources mentioned and utilized. First, please help us recognize and show appreciation to the industry partners involved in the event. Diamond Kote by Wausau Supply Company (Lunch Sponsor) - Driving marketplace changes that allow you to retain clients longer.
Energy Innovations by Harry Boody (Reception Sponsor) - A scientific approach to energy efficient structures since 1979.
Hauska.ai (Lunch Sponsor) - AI-generated renderings from your 2D & 3D drawings.

One of the resources recommended by one of the conference's eleven speakers is Grammarly.com. In the past 3+ years (182 weeks, to be exact), Grammarly has analyzed 8,545,212 of the A-Team's written words. We know this because each week, we are informed about our performance and most common errors and given improvement tips. A free version of Grammarly.com helps you write without mistakes, see your writing tone, and generate text with a limited number of AI prompts. Paid upgrades and features are also available. Grammarly.com is only one of the many free and cost-effective resources recommended during the Design & Build North Myrtle Beach Conference. We thought you might find it helpful if we sent the full list of apps successfully used by other designers.
Shout out to Steve of Hauska.AI for providing that list via their Discord. Of course, an hour or so of instruction followed these recommendations at the conference. We want to thank those who registered for the conference in advance by adding a BONUS replay titled Embracing the AI Revolution in Architecture by Ahren Rhoden of Concept Design in Washington. Ahren showed the AIBD Puget Chapter how to use Midjourney to create images using natural language descriptions called prompts. Now, you can learn from Ahren, too. Click the "Replays" button on the conference landing page to enter the platform and watch all the replays. If you are considering purchasing the replays, we would appreciate it. To show it, we are freezing the $199 pre-show ticket price until March 31, 2024. Don't miss out on this opportunity to deepen your understanding of AI in architecture and earn CE credits. Everyone gets 12 months of access to the replays and the still-active chat thread. Buy a replay ticket at events.ringcentral.com/events/aibd-north-myrtle-beach-2024/registration. Please let us know if you need help by emailing hey@AIBD.org. Enjoy the encore! The A-Team P.S. - We'd love to hear your thoughts on the replays or any questions you might have.
