New Horizons: Create | Engage | Inspire - TME 2015

About TME

SMPS New York’s annual professional development symposium, THE Marketing Event (TME), draws hundreds of A/E/C professionals from the East Coast and beyond to learn about significant trends in business from the smartest innovators.

This year’s TME will take place on Friday, November 6, 2015. It will include workshops divided into three distinct tracks: 1) Marketing, 2) Business Development, and 3) Leadership topics. Each of the featured sessions is crafted for a broad range of career levels. Attendees include marketing coordinators, seasoned business developers, doer/sellers and firm leaders. Attendees can choose programs from all three tracks to customize a day tailored to their professional challenges and interests.

Market forces and economics have created new paradigms around how we all do business in the A/E/C industry. Professionals in this new marketplace need tools to help them evolve and grow their careers and businesses.

Bring on Your Best!
