On September 15-17, 2024, the vibrant city of Asheville, North Carolina, will host the highly anticipated American Institute of Architects (AIA) Aspire Conference. The Aspire Conference will attract architects, designers, and industry leaders from different parts of the southeastern United States to explore innovative themes in architecture, design, and climate science.
The 2024 AIA Aspire Conference, with well-renowned environmental activist Erin Brockovich as the keynote speaker, presents an opportunity to engage with the top architectural minds from Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Attendees can look forward to a unique immersive atmosphere with sessions held at various venues scattered throughout downtown Asheville. The conference’s unique “Talks and Chats” format fosters in-depth conversations and discussions on climate science and sustainable architecture.
On the attendance list are over 30 sessions, site visits, and events. Given the exhilarating schedule and record-breaking early bird registration, the 2024 conference promises to be the most significant to date.
The host city is not left out of the mix – in addition to the opportunity to wine and dine in one of America’s most beautiful cities, young professionals at the conference will also partner with Homeward Bound of WNC to help clean up and beautify the streets of Asheville. As efforts to improve the cityscape proceeds, delegates will also donate key resources to the organization to aid individuals and families moving out of homelessness into proper housing.
Renowned environmental advocate, Erin Brockovich, will lead a keynote discussion at The Orange Peel, with tickets available to the public. The focus will be climate change and its impact on architectural design.
The AIA Aspire Conference is a premier event organized by AIA chapters in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina, all with a shared goal of elevating the architectural profession through education, advocacy, and community engagement.
With thousands of members across the region – and indeed, the globe – this event serves as a platform to address current trends, forge connections, and explore innovative designs. To learn more about AIA Aspire, visit their official website at aspirexp.com.
