How AI is Reshaping Architecture and Engineering Firms

Join this 30-minute executive webinar hosted by YegaTech, featuring Dr. Sam Zolfagharian, President of YegaTech, in conversation with Zach Freshner, VP of Services at CESO, and John Meyer, CEO of Mosaic.

This leadership-focused discussion explores how artificial intelligence is already changing the way A&E firms plan work, manage resources, and make strategic decisions, and what executives should be paying attention to next.

Rather than focusing on tools or demos, the conversation centers on impact, readiness, and how AI is shifting competitive dynamics across the industry.
