Convening the Industry.
For more than four decades, E2 has taken its responsibility to the residential development industry seriously. Beyond the projects we govern and the guidelines we write, we have consistently participated in and supported the professional associations that serve our sector.
Because E2 operates within the development system — working alongside clients and industry partners — we see firsthand how collaboration and open discussion improve outcomes. Our events program reflects that responsibility. Through a series of gatherings throughout the year, we create opportunities for our industry peers to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, share innovations, and strengthen the relationships that support better-performing communities.

AI Crews
Community Program / Online + In Person / Calgary + Edmonton
Build AI competency through peers, practice, and real work.
AI Crews brings together four to six people in the same job, at a similar level, to build practical AI competency through real work. Each crew meets in a fixed calendar slot and works with the tools their companies allow. Rather than keynotes, vendor demos, or roadmaps, members bring a real task, work through it with peers who face similar challenges, and leave every session with something built.
E2 forms the crews based on role and AI competency, hosts the first session, and then participates as a member. Crews can meet weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, with members choosing their rhythm at sign-up. Each 75-minute session follows the same format: a 10-minute ship report, 50 minutes of building, and 15 minutes to show and save the work.

Informal gatherings for alignment and collaboration.
Our Lunch + Learn sessions provide a more informal environment for alignment and collaboration among the many teams involved in the communities we support. These gatherings allow builders, consultants, and stakeholders to share knowledge, review evolving practices, and strengthen the relationships that support efficient project delivery.
Topics Include
Industry Participation + Sponsorship
E2 is an active participant in the residential development industry and the communities that support it. We participate in industry associations, volunteer on committees, attend and contribute to conferences, and support initiatives that bring builders, developers, consultants, and industry partners together.
Our involvement also includes sponsoring industry events and golf tournaments and contributing to programs that strengthen the professional community. As E2 expands into new markets, we continue to build relationships with the local, provincial, national, and international organizations that represent and advance our industry.
