M&A in Motion: Inside the People, Process & Tech Behind a Successful Acquisition

Mergers and acquisitions are accelerating across the AEC industry—but successful outcomes depend on more than the deal itself. Aligning people, processes, and technology is what turns growth into long-term value.

In this customer-led discussion, Chad Speas and Ashley Dunn of Corgan share real-world lessons from Corgan’s recent acquisition of Dyer Brown. Drawing on firsthand experience from both sides of the transaction, they’ll explore how firms can prepare for M&A, manage integration, and make smart technology decisions that support collaboration, continuity, and scale.

Attendees will gain practical insights into what worked, what was challenging, and how the right processes and platforms can accelerate integration while preserving culture and momentum.
