It is that time of year for the architecture and design community! New York City is buzzing with architects from around the globe for the AIA Conference featuring some of the top Architectural talent in the industry. Included in the assortment of keynote speakers, the Expo will feature over 800 vendors of the industry’s best brands.
Each day will feature immersive discussions and workshops, as well as trend predictions and demonstrations. For patrons of the event, there will be an abundance of things to keep busy. Here is a list of Keynote Speakers and events you will not want to miss:
Today, Sir David Adjaye will present to a sold-out Radio City Music Hall. Named one of Time’s most influential people, meet the architect behind landmark projects that are making a difference in major cities and communities around the world. For those attending AIA, tickets are still available for the simulcast at the Javits Center.
Our own Geoffrey Short is on site at the Javits Center in New York City giving us live updates to all the top architects and companies he talks with.
AIA has packed the Javits Center in New York City this week to showcase some of the most innovative products in the architecture and design industry.
