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.

01

AI Crews

Community Program / Online + In Person / Calgary + Edmonton

A speaker at a podium addressing a seated audience at an industry conference

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.
