Join us for an inspiring and insightful day exploring the business of architecture today. This dynamic program will offer perspectives across the full arc of practice — from early education to firm leadership.
Attendees will span a wide range of career stages, including architecture students, emerging designers, sole practitioners, and principals from small to large firms. This diversity creates a rich environment for dialogue, mentorship, and shared learning.
Through candid conversations, skill-building workshops, and real-world insights, you’ll connect with leaders who are building sustainable, values-driven practices and redefining the future of the profession.
Curated by the Women in Architecture committee to highlight female leadership and design excellence, this summit is open to all as we believe that advancing conversations around design, leadership, and practice benefits the entire AEC industry.
Architects, designers, engineers, and contractors of all genders and experience levels are encouraged to attend. Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives on project management, insight into award-winning work, or opportunities to support and connect with the next generation, there is a seat for you at the table.
Leadership requires more than technical skill; it requires the ability to advocate for your vision. In this signature interactive session, we tackle professional development through the lens of the “First Five Years.”
