Call for Presentations
Deadline: May 17, 2025
We are excited to announce that we will be holding the 2025 Annual Conference at the Broadview Hotel in Wichita, Kansas and are now seeking innovative speakers and facilitators.
Design and Architecture are situated at the nexus of what has been accomplished and what is to come. Analyzing society’s key factors of the present to predict how to serve society for the future is vital in shaping healthy communities, from accessibility, equity, technology, and sustainability to the integration of these key indices across the many sectors of the built environment. What we design today creates our platform for tomorrow. It is critical to drive the conversation and implementation of how society is served and always consider how to - Design Forward.
Do you have lessons to impart to fellow architects - or ideas for navigating a shifting architectural landscape in the future? Submit a proposal by May 17, 2024.
