AIA recognized by the International Business Awards®

WASHINGTON – August 19, 2025 – The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is being recognized with two Stevie Awards as part of the 22nd Annual International Business Awards®(IBA), the world's only international, all-encompassing business awards program.

AIA has been awarded a Gold Stevie Award in the Non-Profit Marketing Campaign of the Year category for its membership marketing campaign. AIA is also being awarded a Silver Stevie Award in the Conference & Meetings category for the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2024 (AIA24).

AIA’s membership marketing campaign successfully highlighted the value of AIA membership across multiple channels and touchpoints, achieving a significant milestone of 100,000 members in 2025. In addition to finding new ways to support and provide value to AIA members, the AIA membership marketing campaign seeks to find and improve touchpoints with prospective members.  

AIA24, the largest annual gathering of architects, took place in Washington, D.C., bringing together the architecture community alongside professionals from the building and design industries. With powerful keynotes, cutting-edge building products and services, and a carefully curated selection of educational sessions, AIA24 became a must-attend event for anyone in design and construction.

“This is a tremendous win for AIA, providing international recognition of our staff’s demonstrated ability to understand and represent our members’ needs,” said Stephen T. Ayers, FAIA, Interim EVP/CEO. “Every single member of our staff contributed in some meaningful way to the work recognized by these awards.”
