Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Chief Architect Software! The Holidays are a magical time of year to cherish time with family and friends. It’s a time to reflect on what’s important in life, be thankful, and treat others with kindness. We are very thankful for you, our customers, who help to make our products so successful. On behalf of Chief Architect, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful Holiday Season.
As we look forward to 2026, we are excited to announce several new software features to assist with your home design efficiency. We will begin with the February International Builder and Kitchen & Bath Show/Training in Orlando. At this show, we will be previewing our new version of Chief Architect. In August, we will host our annual Chief Academy Training event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This event is always a lot of fun where you can network with other users, attend training, meet our staff, and get an inside preview of upcoming products and features – I hope you can find time to join us!
We truly appreciate your business and the time you take to help improve our products and services - thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
