As the world gradually reopens to more travel, ENR editors and writers are venturing out to see projects and attend industry events. This brings back the richness of in-person points of contact among the many ways we engage with our audience.
A lot of my in-person activity has been informal observation of local construction and flood damage in the New York City metro area. But Midwest Editor Jeff Yoders recently dropped in on the Council on a Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat meeting in Chicago. Technology Editor Jeff Rubenstone traveled to Liechtenstein on a visit to toolmaker Hilti’s headquarters. Editor-in-Chief Jan Tuchman attended the National Academy of Construction conference in Colorado Springs and the Society of American Military Engineers awards gala in New York City. “SAME was one day after the infrastructure bill passed the House. You can imagine the buzz!” she says.
