Unpack how to speak about mass timber with your clients on terms they care about -improving returns and reducing risk— and learn how they look at these projects through the eyes of those holding the capital and occupying the space. You’ll hear directly from institutional investors, forward-thinking developers, and business-savvy AEC teams about what drives demand and how to align your project with those priorities.
