RSVP is required. AIA CRAN Industry Conversations Join the AIA Colorado Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN) for an evening of connection, candid conversation, and shared learning. This facilitated, peer-to-peer gathering will bring custom residential architects together to exchange practical insights on the business challenges that shape their work. Through two rounds of small-group discussion, attendees will explore topics including managing client expectations and scope creep, structuring contracts and additional services, getting paid, and determining when to involve contractors and consultants. The evening will conclude with a group debrief and open networking, offering plenty of opportunities to compare experiences, share strategies, and build relationships with fellow practitioners. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
