Inside Our Program / EventsBuiltX
Several times a year, the Master of Science in Executive Management for Design and Construction (EMDC) program hosts Northwestern’s Built Environment Exchange (BuiltX) - an idea forum and networking event for members of the built environment – which benefits both EMDC students and professionals working in the built environment.
BuiltX is designed for attendees to network, openly discuss best practices, and gain objective insights on industry trends. The forum covers a broad range of industry topics through fireside chats, panel discussions, and keynote speakers and encompasses participants from all industries within the built environment to foster a network of knowledge across disciplines and forge meaningful professional connections.
In partnership with The Goldie Initiative and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), this networking and educational event will feature a panel discussion, "Blueprints for Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Executives in the Built Environment Sector."
Moderated by EMDC faculty member Karen Layng, the panel will explore how the built environment sector can more effectively prepare its next generation of executives with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to lead in a rapidly evolving economic and professional landscape.
