FORUM 2025: AUSTIN
—
January 8-11, 2025
Austin, TX
FORUM is the AIAS’ annual career development conference where all of our members from around the world gather in a new city under and spend a few days together to grow together and develop their voices, ideas, and actions for the future.
Through innovative speakers, seminars, activities, and tours, we will learn about design, service, and leadership advancements in the field, as well as meet, collaborate, and communicate with our fellow members from diverse schools and share perspectives face-to-face. We will also get to know a cool city for its architecture, firm culture, and history; feature the work of our fellow students; and represent our chapters by electing the 2025-2026 Board of Directors.
Don’t miss our keynote speakers, career development opportunities, our Career and College Expo, a Portfolio Review, workshops, tours, and of course, our Beaux Arts Ball! Get ready to start the year with a bang, and we’ll see you in Austin soon!
