In partnership with the AIA NY the three-day event will take place at The Centre for Architecture in New York, from 6-8 October. Expect three exciting days of iconic building tours, presentations and workshops from the world’s most influential architects, designers and developers.

Highly acclaimed and award-winning speakers will present their ideas and participate in a high-level day of presentations, discussions and networking.
