At last year's forum, all 300 attendees donned lobster bibs and "got cacophonous" during the send-off social event, recalls organizer Denise MacDonald. Sadly, she can't guarantee repeat cacophony this year. But she does promise plenty of can't-miss happenings, including a keynote from design guru Jan Gehl and a trade fair featuring the latest architectural technologies and services, such as precast, prestressed concrete. "If you're interested," she adds, "there's also a fancy dinner." Great! We'll have the lobster. -- DM
