Top 6 reasons to attend A’21!

Conference news Education Speakers
, by Dawn Scarola

Plan your summer around this event.

As the economy rebounds, the architecture profession is confronting a new business landscape, a zero-carbon imperative, and indisputable demands for equity. Preparing for the road ahead is about forecasting and adapting your design values and vision to current circumstances.

This summer, at A’21, the biggest names in architecture, design, and beyond will share how they’re overcoming obstacles and thriving. Read on for the top six reasons you should attend A’21, the architecture and design event of the year!

Top 6

Reason #6: Four days, all-digital, & on demand

A’21 is our first-ever, all-digital AIA Conference on Architecture. Because it’s virtual, everyone can attend! We’ll live stream the full program each day: Two keynotes, your choice of seminars, product demos, networking events, and more. If you miss a session, don’t worry. Keynotes and seminars will be available on-demand for 30 days following each event.

Reason #5: Products & materials showcase

Our world is changing, and so are the products and materials we’re using to build the future. At A’21, building product manufacturers that are leading our industry will introduce you to the newest products and materials to hit the market. Check the schedule for Learning Lounges and Live Product Demos happening each conference day from 10:30am through 12:30pm EST. Seminars on selling sustainability to your clients and building a case for high-performance design will help you use your newfound product knowledge to get clients on board, too.

Want to meet one-on-one with building product manufactures? Apply for VIBE @ A’21 during registration, and we’ll match you with key suppliers. Limited spots available!

Reason #4: One ticket = ALL your HSW & AIA LU credits for the year

With one $199 ticket, you can earn all your HSW and AIA LU credits for the year! Sessions are hosted live and then available on-demand for 30 days after each event, so there are plenty of opportunities to watch and learn.

Reason #3: Seminars featuring the best in architecture & design!

Beyond keynotes, A’21 has 29 seminars to bring you in-depth learning on the topics that are relevant to your practice now. Each conference day maps to a different theme, and we’ve invited some of the most creative, well-known architects, firms, and industry leaders to share proven insights, project takeaways, and new ways forward. Sessions include universal localism with Marlon Blackwell, FAIA, big data and smart cities with Debra Lam, capacity building with Rick Wade, blockchain technology with Alirexa Shojaei, and designing for the public with Sara Caples, AIA. There’s 20+ additional sessions in the schedule. View the full schedule.

Reason #2: A powerhouse lineup of keynotes

James Beard Award-winning chef José Andrés kicks off A’21 on June 17. He’ll talk with keynote host Roman Mars about how profitability leads to new possibilities and how to harness the power of our core values to design a better world, together. Don’t miss the closing keynote, which features four industry innovators on transforming the business of design: Deryll McKissack (McKissack & McKissack) Gregg Pasquarelli (SHoP Architects), Sheela Søgaard (BIG–Bjarke Ingels Group), and Kim Yao, AIA (Architecture Research Office).

On July 8, Antoine Bryant, Assoc. AIA (Moody Nolan), and Kim Yao, AIA (Architecture Research Office), will share how they sell sustainability to their clients, and Dr. Robert Bullard, the father of environmental justice, will address environmental racism, climate justice, smart growth, and regional equity.

On July 29, Shelley Halstead (Black Women Build – Baltimore), will discuss how she’s generating intergenerational wealth that empowers women and communities. There are still three keynotes left to announce—more details coming soon!

Reason #1: Community, collaboration, & connections

A’21 is where our industry comes together. It’s a central meeting point where we celebrate architecture and design, learn from the best in our industry and beyond, and make real-time connections. From Mentor Meetups to wellness activities to AIA Community Nights, there’s something for everyone!

Content Creation and Innovation: Libraries for the Digital Future

The Education KC invites you to explore the latest trends in the design of academic libraries. Join us for a presentation and a panel discussion review of new concepts that redefine how we share information, create content and innovate.

In the age of digital information, libraries are evolving to remain the life blood of thriving communities, new schools and great universities. They have the capacity to connect – by creating points of intersections between people, disciplines, and ideas. From cyber cafes to maker spaces and innovation centers, interactive elements and digital studios, libraries continue to shift and reinvent to embrace new technologies and space programs.

Janette Blackburn, FAIA and Luke Voiland, AIA, both principals from Shepley Bulfinch (Boston), will explore the latest trends in library design to best utilize space and technology, balancing research, patron needs, and social relationships.

Greg Moquin, CTS, senior audiovisual system engineer and associate principal at Shen Milsom & Wilke (SM&W) in Chicago, will address the new technologies required to deliver the latest library concepts.

  • 5:30 PM               Networking
  • 5:45 PM               Presentations
