Join us at AIA Leadership Summit 2023 (formerly Grassroots) for four days of vital leadership training designed to help you be an effective leader in your chapter, firm, and community.

AIA Leadership Summit brings together AIA volunteer leaders, chapter executives, and chapter staff across regions, specialties, firm sizes, and career stages. This year’s theme—Architecture’s Generations at Work—focuses on building bridges to create a better world and a stronger profession, skills you can apply to every facet of your professional life.

This event is always one of AIA’s best-attended events. This year, reconnecting in person makes it even more special. Register today to reserve your seat!
