SpArc is an invitation-only symposium that assembles heads of specifications from the top architecture firms in the nation. Thought leaders will share best practices, present case study driven data and explore novel approaches that speak to the industry’s most challenging topics.
The intimate setting and interactive program format fosters an environment where likeminded peers can engage in thought provoking discussions around a variety of relevant industry subjects. Material selection criteria for designers, litigation and claims analysis, and the conflict between NFPA 285 and weather barrier requirements are just a few of the many pressing issues that will be addressed during the summit. The invaluable information shared during this three day event is sure to provide participants with the necessary resources and guidance needed to enhance their specification writing.
