SUMMARY:Vision to Action: AIA Virginia COTE 2026 Sustainability Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the AIA Virginia COTE 2026 Sustainability Summit on Thursday\, May 28\, 2026 in Richmond\, VA. \n\n\n\nThe Virginia COTE Sustainability Summit brings together design professionals across Virginia committed to advancing sustainability throughout our practices. This full-day summit is structured to spark inspiration\, elevate practitioner insight\, and produce tangible next steps for the profession. \nEarn 6 AIA LU | HSW \nPurchase Tickets Here \nThe opening keynote by Virginia’s Chief Resilience Officer Greg Steele will frame the future challenges and opportunities facing the Commonwealth. Short\, focused presentations by practitioners will highlight critical topics\, innovations\, and on-the-ground experiences to set the stage for more in depth discussion. Participants will then engage in morning and afternoon roundtables centered on key sustainability issues — the focus of these breakouts will ultimately be defined by the attendees\, but topic prompts include policy and legislation\, energy innovations\, the AIA Materials Pledge\, and resilience imperatives across the state. Each group will identify strategic priorities and actionable recommendations before sharing insights with the broader audience. The summit concludes with a collective synthesis session where themes are refined and distilled into a focused set of priorities to guide our shared work in the coming year. \n\n\n\n\n\nDraft Agenda for the day: \nAgenda: \n8:30-9:00am: Arrival/check in & networking 9:00-9:30am: Opening keynote – Greg Steele\, P.E.\, Chief Resilience Officer\, Commonwealth of Virginia9:30-9:50: Morning Presentations \n\n\n\nPaul Battaglia\,  AIA – Advocacy and Legislation\nWilliam Abrahamson\, AIA\, CPHC\, LEED AP BD+C – Greening the Building Code\nRebecca Aarons-Sydnor\, CDT\, Assoc.
