Every other year, AIA Virginia convenes a diverse cadre of decision-makers, from practices of all sizes. This one-day forum is intended to cultivate strong leaders and advance business practices. With a focus on creating and fostering a healthy firm culture, both seasoned and emerging leaders will come together to share and learn best practices, be challenged, and be celebrated by their peers.
The 2025 Art of Practice will take place on Friday, March 14, 2025 from 9:45am-5:00pm at Tower Club Tysons Corner in Vienna, VA. This year the theme will revolve around the concept of, “The Current and Future State of Work.”
