"Aspire to Inspire."

bec is about connecting.

Attending BEC isn't just about networking, it's about making real and lasting connections with industry peers.

“Why build a glass skyscraper in the desert? Why not? Design buildings that are perfectly designed for their environment.”

BEC is about old friends & new.

Attending BEC isn't just about networking, it's about building business relationships you can rely on time and again.

Your first impression isn't made with a firm handshake - it's with a Google search.

Despite uncertainties about the overall
economic conditions, forecasts continue to
