SM&W Unscripted will resume its monthly meeting sessions this fall with a brand new lineup of topics and guests.
SM&W Unscripted was created as an open conversation outlet for the AEC industry based on many internal team exchanges at SM&W. The live meeting series aims to tackle topics of interest across the AEC community with an open discussion format. Each month hosts Stacey Dahmm and David Goetz hold a meeting about an issue of interest, often with special guests from the industry. Meetings are open to all and are short (around 30 minutes), but value candid conversations and shared experiences among colleagues.
2022’s fall sessions include:
September
Hosts Stacey Dahmm and David Goetz will be joined by special guest Jenn Steinhardt for September’s session of SM&W Unscripted. Jenn recently wrote an article about neurodiversity, and now would like to open the conversation up to our AEC community to talk about how we can support neurodiversity. The term neurodiversity is meant to celebrate the natural variations of the human brain, and the term is often used to advocate and bring awareness that neurodivergent individuals should be treated as equals to their neurotypical counterparts. How can we as companies and professionals support the neurodiverse? What technologies are out there that might aid in someone’s day-to-day life?
