ACES is a networking luncheon series dedicated to connecting professionals between Richmond and DC, from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries, a sector that is very active in the adoption of Information, Communication and Technology. These luncheons serve as an opportunity for like-minded individuals to collaborate and network while hearing from industry experts, engaging in insightful conversations and enjoying a local dining experience. ACES is not an exclusive group and is open to the public.
