Straight from Silicon Valley, Sean Parham has spent nearly his entire career in the tech and telecom worlds, from Motorola to Cisco to launching his own startups. Last July, he joined the executive team of one of the AEC industry’s hottest tech-focused startups: Aditazz. As VP of Product Marketing and Management, Parham is leading the firm’s charge in shaking up the traditional design and construction approaches. The firm’s goal is to simplify and improve what is an inherently complex and messy process by adapting technologies and methodologies from the semiconductor and software development worlds. In this 15-minute talk at BD+C’s Accelerate Live! conference, Parham takes us through the "Aditazz way" for automating traditional AEC practices.

Self-generating microbial glue that repairs cracks in concrete?

As everyone in the AEC industry knows all too well, without money for a building project, there is no building project. During his decades-long career in architecture, Paul Westlake, Jr., has become somewhat of a master for helping his clients—particularly in the cultural and performing arts sectors—find money for their projects, or find more money for their projects. In some cases, these projects would not have happened without Westlake’s expertise. In other cases, he helped his clients fully realize their vision, with added funding for optional programming. In this 15-minute talk at BD+C’s Accelerate Live! conference, Westlake shares some of his methods for adding value to projects on the financing end. These include tax credit equity financing, preservation tax incentives, and new markets tax credits.
