Chicago Architecture & Design Summit

Why You Can't Miss our First-Ever Chicago Architecture-Focused Event

What You'll Learn: 

• Chicago is known to many as one of the most architecturally unique cities in the United States. How are today's designers looking to past innovations to inspire and inform future decisions for the skyline?
• What innovations and technological advances are firms integrating into their practices?
• Choosing the right partner: how can architects and developers work together to bring their visions to life?
• Decision-making: what are the tougher decisions that architects are facing today based on today's financing difficulties, cost of raw materials, labor, and more?
• As the city and its resident and tenant demands are changing, how are designers keeping up to speed with changing consumer demands?

How You'll Do More Business: 

Move over, New York — taking a step back in history, it was Chicago that carries the title of the first city to embrace the skyscraper. The Windy City has always embraced architectural shifts and innovations — from Aon Center to Aqua to the famed Tribune Tower, Chicago's architects know how to push the envelope in terms of new heights, innovations, and styles. So how are today's top designers paying homage to the city in their own new designs and ideas, all while keeping up with changing city dynamics, consumer demands, and more? Join us for our first ever Chicago Architecture and Design summit to hear from the thinkers, designers, and developers re-imaging Chicago's cityscape for years to come. 

Who You'll Meet: 

Chicago's top architecture shops, developers, public officials, and more!
