About the AIA Conference on Architecture
The American Institute of Architects held its first convention in New York in 1867. Thirteen architects met with a shared goal to form an organization to promote architects and architecture. Now, The AIA has nearly 88,000 members worldwide and works to address pertinent social and architectural modern-day issues.
This year, attendees at the convention can visit the AIA Conference in person to join a community of architecture professionals, get inspired by big-name keynote speakers, and attend inspiring seminars. The AIA convention lets you network with influential architects and designers and develop relationships with building product manufacturers who are leaders in their field.
Each year the architecture convention is hosted in a different U.S. location. As part of the show experience, visitors can participate in AIA architectural tours curated and led by experts. This year, A’22 returns to Chicago, allowing visitors to explore one of the most design-forward, sustainable cities in the U.S.
While at the convention, you can also take one or more of the 100+ courses offered at the annual architecture expo allowing you to learn and earn credits. A’22 is the not to be missed premier architecture and design event.
