Architects are known to rank very high on the scale that rates job satisfaction. The past few years have tested that position thoroughly, but we believe the time is ripe to Practice with Passion once again! Over the years, we’ve learned that our members attend our Convention and leave feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
More than 1,500 people are projected to attend the 2013 Convention. An estimated 1,100 will attend programs and the exhibits, while another 400 will visit the exhibit hall - which will feature more than 200 companies and a wide variety of exhibits.
When
• Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
• Exhibit Hall open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
• Continuing Education all four days
