I know you've heard countless times here on the Tangents podcast that the tools and workflows in most AEC firms are either horribly broken or in desperate need of a redesign. Our friends at Arcol are doing just that, and they want you to be a part of the conversations helping to shape the future of BIM.

Join us at Arcol's Retooling AEC event on August 15th in New York City for food, drinks, and a wide variety of speakers from large firms, startups, and education. To reserve your spot, head to Arcol.io/event. That's arcol.io/event. See you there.

 If you'd like to help build the future of BIM, head over to Arcol.io and join in their Closed Beta for early access to their new platform.
