On the evening of Wednesday, October 2nd, before A/E/C THRIVE commences, we invite you to join us for cocktails and dinner with fellow attendees and a bit of fun with our annual trivia night (hint: you might want to study up on PSMJ’s 2019 A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey Report before heading to New Orleans!). There is no additional fee for this reception and dinner, but RSVP is required (guests are welcome, but an additional fee applies).
Get ready. This is going to be big - and we are doing it differently than ever before! One of the always-popular events is our awards celebration featuring Circle of Excellence, Platinum Award, Premier Award for Client Satisfaction, and A/E/C Employer of Choice Award winners. On the evening after the first full day of the conference, join us for dinner, drinks, and a toast to our 2019 award winners. And, that is just the start. Our exciting awards after-party will feature prizes, partying, and more well into the night! This celebration is included with your registration fee and RSVP is required (guests are welcome, but an additional fee applies).
Circle of Excellence

Members of the Circle of Excellence receive a winner package which includes discounted registrations for all firm members in attendance. To learn more about the Circle of Excellence, click here.
Platinum Award
To earn the Platinum Award, an A/E/C firm must make it into the Circle of Excellence for four of the previous five years (including the current year). The ones who make the cut to win the Platinum Award display an unparalleled level of consistency and achievement across many different aspects of their business.

A/E/C Employer of Choice Award
The A/E/C Employer of Choice Award is the ONLY award that proves, to one and all, that your firm is a great place to work — and use it as a talent recruiting magnet for any position. Our judging process looks beyond simple satisfaction scores to measure and recognize the most significant metric that proves you have truly satisfied employees…their level of engagement.

A/E/C Building a Better World Award
This award recognizes an organization in the A/E industry that has gone above and beyond to give back. It could be donating money or services to social causes and nonprofits, it could be donating time to assist in community building or rebuilding efforts, it could be a program to set aside a portion of time and profits to social causes. Of course, any efforts put towards social causes community improvement is a good investment. But, we want to hear about those that have had the biggest positive impact on the company and the community. To learn more about the A/E/C Building a Better World Award, click here.
