Med-Ed conference April 1-2 at Seaport WTC: Medical and educational facilities

Welcome to Med-Ed, the premier medical and educational facilities conference in New England! On behalf of the Boston Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), I invite you to participate in a dynamic educational program featuring real-world, solutions-based case studies and management discussions relating to the planning, designing, construction, and facility management of medical and educational building types. The successful planning and design of medical and educational facilities requires a team of individuals with a wide range of skill sets. Med-Ed Conference director Mark Kalin has brought together a cross section of nationally recognized industry related professionals offering their expertise. Presenters include architects, engineers, lawyers, building science professionals, facility and operations managers, specification writers, manufacturers and more. Organizations like the Construction Specifications Institute will be represented both locally and nationally. Expect to see someone you know (or want to know) in the exhibit hall, at one of forty educational sessions, the networking receptions, CSI-Boston chapter meeting, or other scheduled event. Interact with your peers and clients while learning something new. I encourage you to check out all the session offerings, they are beyond interesting! Over 80 medical and educational facilities planners, building science experts and many more share their day-to-day experiences in our fast-paced profession! I hope to see you April 1-2! Jay Ford, CSI, CCS, LEED AP, is the president of the Construction Specifications Institute Boston Chapter.
