The Carpenters' Company of the City and County of Philadelphia has long been hosting biennial half-day learning symposiums designed to provide a space of networking and learning for burgeoning and established ACE professionals. In 2026, we are happy to announce the launch of the Master Builders' Dialogues reimagined as a three-part learning series. This series is designed engage members of the Carpenters' Company and the wider ACE professional community in conversation about design/build trends, and facilitate site visits to up and coming facilities and projects in the Greater Philadelphia area.
This series is a fundraiser to help us educate the next generation of ACE professionals and introduce them to the various career paths available to them. To support this goal, funds from this series will go towards Master Builders' Institute initiatives, including the after-school ACE learning program ran in partnership with Girard College and staffed by volunteers from the Carpenters' Company and the Greater Philadelphia design-build community.
Continuing Education Credits will be offered for individual sessions.
