Welcome back to season 5 of Practice Disrupted!
To celebrate a new season, co-hosts Evelyn Lee and Je’Nen Chastain take you behind the scenes to the AIA Conference on Architecture. Following two years of waiting for large-scale in-person events to resume, the AIA welcomed its membership back by hosting a premiere conference experience against the striking architectural skyline of Chicago.
Join Practice Disrupted as they reconnect with new and familiar faces from across the country, and explore what the conference has to offer. Discover what attendees had to say about the June 2022 event, what the AIA is prioritizing through new executive leadership, and why volunteer leaders stay involved in the AIA.
Save the date for A’23 in San Francisco!
