EMPOWERING

Presented by Women in Architecture, Latinos in Architecture, and the Emerging Professionals Networks.

It is with excitement and enthusiasm we bring you the sixth annual AIA Dallas EMPOWERING conference - a collaboration between our Women in Architecture, Latinos in Architecture, and Emerging Professionals Networks. Our mission at AIA Dallas is to transform the world around us, and this conference focuses on the “tools” and knowledge needed to achieve that through Design, Practice and Leadership. We hope you enjoy the powerhouse lineup of speakers we have this year, all of whom are leaders making an impact in our communities.
