The Consulting Estimators Round Table hosted its Southeast Conference on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 10-11, 2016, at the Marriott Atlanta Gateway Hotel.

Over the two day conference, attendees heard presentations from fellow CERT members, industry professionals, attorneys, colleagues and others on various issues affecting the estimating consulting industry.

Topics included interacting with clients; cellular concrete options in construction; marketing; specialization; and professional liability for consultants.

The exceptional presenters stimulated an in-depth discussion in a ‘best practices’ forum.

The program provided an ideal opportunity for members and estimators to gather, socialize and discuss cutting-edge issues confronting their practices and how they are dealing with them.

“The event was a great success,” said Dan Frondorf CPE of DG Frondorf and Associates, LLC and past president of CERT. “The speakers were top-notch and the venue and food were quite good as well. Several new people who attended added to the value of the conference.”

CERT thanks all the speakers for their wonderful presentations and professionalism in preparing for the conference and all those who attended. Additionally, CERT hopes that you can join us for a future conference.

Dear CERT 2015 NE Conference Attendees, Sponsors, and CERT Board members,

Thanks for your attendance at and participation in the CERT 2015 NE Conference.

I hope you will agree with me that the content and time were both well worth the effort.

We had some great presentations and discussions, made new friends and colleagues, and took home some good ideas that we can put into practice in our businesses.

I’m grateful to each of you for your contributions to the event, to our sponsors the AGC of New York (Dennis), the Blue Book of Building and Construction (Mark), and DCD Magazine (Barb), and to our presenters for their thoughtful and informative insights.

It was great to see so many new faces as well as old friends too. I like to think in addition to being beneficial to our businesses, the event was a lot of fun and very interactive – everybody participated in the discussions and was very involved in the conference.
