AIA Virginia is pleased to announce that our signature programs for 2020 will be delivered virtually under the umbrella of Foresight 2020. You’ll get to experience Visions for Architecture, Design Forum: In Praise of Shadows, and Architecture Exchange East in exciting new ways.
While we’ll miss getting together in person, keeping you safe and healthy is more important. And, because that face-to-face interaction is so critical, we’ve invested in a virtual event platform that encourages connections and interactions.
What stays the same?
High-quality speakers and content. Our planning committees are committed to delivering the very best speakers and most compelling discussions. They’ve already confirmed an incredible set of speakers for the Design Forum and the lineup at ArchEx is going to be just as impressive.
Exhibit Hall. We’ll still feature the latest products, services, and solutions from the industry’s best building product manufacturers in our virtual Exhibit Hall.
Networking and relationship building. We’ve built plenty of time into the schedule to engage with your colleagues.
What’s different?
No travel cost. You can login to the event wherever you happen to be on the day of the program.
Schedule. We’ve spread the programming out over a month.
Location. We’re planning to host everything in one virtual “spot.” After you register, you’ll download an app that will serve as our event lobby and hangout. It will work on any of your devices — your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.
Registration fees. It will cost less than ever before to attend. You can get a ticket to just one event, like the Design Forum or ArchEx, or get an all access pass to all of the Foresight 2020 programs.
And, Visions for Architecture will be free for everyone. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Registration for Foresight 2020 opens in August.
