Educate yourself: Familiarize yourself with the candidates hoping to head the AIA in 2016. ARCHITECT met with the men and women running for first vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and at-large directors to talk about their goals, the benefits of AIA membership, and the Institute's "I Look Up" public awareness campaign.
Register for the keynotes: You don't want to miss out on speeches given by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Cirque de Soleil executive creative director Welby Altidor, and National Journal's Communications Council research director Julie Dixon. You also don't want to skip Saturday's keynote panel featuring Fox Business Network anchor Trish Regan; Latent Design founder Katherine Darnstadt, AIA; Ehrlich Architects founding partner Steven Ehrlich, FAIA; Moody Nolan president and CEO Curtis J. Moody, FAIA; and Eskew+Dumez+Ripple partner and director of operations Mark Ripple, AIA.
