An Introduction to Sign Engineering for Project Managers
- Presenter(s): Charlotte Hearin; Hollie Harrison; Rob Alley
- Session Length: 60 minutes
- Date: Apr 10, 2024
The idea is to give Project Managers exposure to the engineering side of the sign world, to help them be better Project Managers (if they know more about design, they should be able to provide better solutions to their clients).
