The Pinnacle Experience

Pre-conference event

THE PINNACLE EXPERIENCE AT AMPLIFY A|E|C

We’re excited to announce the update to the Pinnacle Experience—SMPS’s signature program for senior-level marketing and business development professionals. In 2026, SMPS will pilot an exclusive, elevated conference at Amplify A|E|C in Las Vegas, designed for experienced leaders ready to explore what’s next in the AEC industry.

By taking place during Amplify A|E|C, Pinnacle attendees will gain the best of both worlds: a focused, senior-level learning experience combined with access to the broader Amplify community—creating more opportunities for connection, collaboration, and shared insight across every level of the profession.

The Pinnacle Experience delivers the depth, strategy, and peer exchange you expect—now amplified by the energy and reach of SMPS’s largest annual gathering.

ATTENDANCE QUALIFICATIONS

The Pinnacle Experience is for professionals with significant experience (10-15+ years), who serve as the “first chair” for leading their firm’s marketing and business development strategies. This may include CEOs, CMOs, directors, principals, and vice presidents.
