Amazon Recap
We embarked on an an incredible tour of Amazon's headquarters in Seattle thanks to our former Building Industry Show keynote speaker Jay Symonds with presentations on new smart home technology by Amazon executives, and a special guest appearance and motivational session by NFL great, Jedidiah Collins. We toured the Seattle Spheres, experienced an Amazon Go store, visited a few of Washington's finest wineries, and more.
We appreciate everyone who joined us for this memorable experience, including building industry leaders from TRI Pointe Homes, William Lyon Homes, Brookfield Residential, San Diego Gas & Electric, and other leading businesses, including Under Armour, International Executive Council, and more.
As an industry, let's continue to adopt Amazon's "day 1" mentality by channeling the excitement, energy and creativity sparked from day one on the job to evolve greater innovation and technology into our homes, businesses, and lifestyle.
