Join us for a hands-on InDesign skills lab, designed specifically by and for AEC marketers who build proposals, pursuits, and collateral under real-world deadlines. If you're looking to sharpen your efficiency, this session will help you take control of your workspace and dramatically speed up production, so you can spend less time fighting with formatting and more time crafting winning content. If you want to reduce layout time, eliminate formatting headaches, and produce polished deliverables with confidence, this course is for you.
