Welcome back to Beyond Deadlines newsletter—a free perk for people looking to improve in Planning and Scheduling. Each week, we provide tactics, prompts, jobs and food for thought. We want you to succeed today, tomorrow and throughout the rest of your career.

If we can focus on making clear what parts of our day are within our control and what parts are not, we will not only be happier, we will have a distinct advantage over other people who fail to realize they are fighting an unwinnable battle.

You can unlock new opportunities by attending in-person industry events.

You'll gain insights from thought leaders, discover innovative tools, and connect with peers who understand the challenges of construction planning.

It's the unexpected conversations that make the difference -- the insights shared over coffee, the meeting of a potential collaborator, or learning a scheduling trick that saves weeks off your next project.

These events will help you boost your skills and expand your network, so mark those dates on your calendar. You'll leave inspired, informed, and ready to take on the world.

The goal of networking isn't just to know someone, it's also to learn something new.
