The American Institute of Architects (AIA) invites you to share your knowledge and expertise with fellow practitioners and allied professionals as part of its Changing Times | Time for Change: Practice, Productivity and Effectiveness conference being held September 24th-26th, 2009 in Chicago, IL. Industry leaders and forward-thinking professionals who are on the cutting edge of practice, management, technology, collaboration, research, training and mentoring are invited to submit proposals to discuss trends that are changing industry practices.
The design and construction industries are changing at breathtaking speed. Continued success requires constant evaluation of business models and professional practices against the rapidly evolving nature of the operating environment. Where opportunities exist or the need for change arises, industry professionals must respond quickly and effectively, lest they fall behind more agile or aggressive competitors. Given the new economic and environmental realities affecting client needs, this program “Changing Times | Time for Change: Practice, Productivity and Effectiveness” will provide the perspective, strategies and tactics necessary to compete effectively in an accelerating and complex world.
Submissions should be emailed to ipd@aia.org no later than Friday, March 13, 2009.
