DiCicco Gulman & Company’s Third Annual “A&E Summit” To Feature Industry Forecast, Advice for Taking Advantage of Adversity

Waltham, MA May 6, 2011 ─ A forecast of the business climate for architectural and engineering firms, and advice for how to make the most of it, will be revealed by DiCicco, Gulman & Company LLP (DGC) of Woburn at its third annual “A&E Summit: Strategies for Success,” which will be held from 7:30 to 10 a.m., Thursday, June 9, 2011 at the Westin Waltham, 30 3rd Ave.

The summit, which attracts C-level industry leaders, will feature a panel of experts with in-depth industry knowledge, including David Sullivan, CPA, of DGC; George Christodoulo, an attorney with Lawson & Weitzen in Boston, and Ian Rusk, a valuation expert with Rusk O'Brien Guido + Partners in Maynard.

In addition to previewing results of DGC’s 2011 survey of Boston-area A&E firms, the panelists will discuss important industry benchmarks, ownership strategies that lead to long-term success, internal and external challenges relating to valuation, industry consolidation and other issues.

In spite of improving prospects for the industry, A&E firms continue to face project cancelations, a lack of financing, high unemployment, cash flow issues and heavy competition, according to Sullivan.

“Recovery will be slow, but firms that are well informed and plan strategies based on their industry knowledge can grow and succeed,” according to Sullivan. “The information we provide at the A&E summit is intended to help firms turn adversity into opportunity.”
