Changing Times | Time for Change
Practice, Productivity, and Effectiveness
September 24-26 | Chicago
The world in which we practice is changing at breathtaking speed. Where opportunities exist or the need for change arises, we must respond quickly and effectively, lest we fall behind more agile or aggressive competitors. This conference provides the perspective, strategies, and tactics necessary to compete effectively in an accelerating and complex world.
The Wyndham Chicago is the host hotel for the conference. You'll be in the heart of downtown and one block from the Magnificent Mile, and all it has to offer. Make your reservation on or before September 2 to receive the AIA discount. Reserve your room now.

Design Matters
Canal Square, Washington, D.C.
Architect: Arthur Cotton Moore Associates
By integrating a 19th-century warehouse with a new office building and shopping area, this project helped turn a run-down industrial area into a thriving commercial-office complex. A model of adaptive use, Canal Square, completed in 1970, received a national AIA Honor Award in 1977.
