About the Speaker

Julie Brown is a sought after speaker, networking expert, business strategist, life of every networking party, Author of This Sh!t Works: A No-Nonsense Guide to Networking Your Way to More Friends, More Adventures, and More Success, as well as the host of the This Sh!t Works podcast dedicated to all things business and entrepreneurship. Julie’s advice and tips strike the perfect balance of humor and expertise gained from more than 25 years of networking, mentoring and self advocacy in the AEC industry.

Message from the Speaker: SMPS holds a very special place in my heart—it was the very first AEC organization I joined back in 1999, when I was 25 years old and just finding my footing in the industry. In many ways, I grew up professionally inside SMPS. I’ve had the honor of serving on the board in Boston, speaking to chapters across the country, and most recently keynoting the Northeast Regional Conference in 2022. SMPS didn’t just shape my career—it helped shape how I think about connection, leadership, and showing up fully in this industry
