Missed this session at Amplify 2026? Join us to explore how AI can strengthen proposal workflows, protect technical utilization, and position marketing as a driver of revenue.

AI is rapidly reshaping how proposals are written, reviewed, and evaluated, often by AI on both sides of the table. As project owners increasingly use AI to assess proposals, speed alone is no longer a differentiator. Consistency, clarity, and strategic alignment now determine who advances. For many AEC marketers, this shift creates anxiety about relevance. This session reframes that concern as an opportunity. Rather than focusing on tools or prompts that may quickly become outdated, participants will learn how to design practical, tool-agnostic workflows that use AI to centralize institutional knowledge, improve consistency, and strengthen human expertise.

The session also connects proposal efficiency to outcomes that matter to firm leadership. By reducing reliance on billable technical staff and accelerating pursuit timelines, marketers can support utilization and revenue while producing clearer, more defensible proposals aligned with owner priorities. Participants will leave with a framework for serving as the human in the loop and becoming indispensable in an AI-enabled firm.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Learn how to future-proof proposal workflows as AI becomes standard on both sides of the pursuit
  • Connect AI-enabled proposal work to utilization, billable hours, and revenue
  • Position marketing as a strategic contributor, not a cost center, in an AI-driven environment
