Current market conditions have drastically altered the architectural profession, transforming the way design professionals view the built environment. Organized by the Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) Committee of the AIA New York Chapter, the Future Now Summit’s mission is to challenge participants to investigate the future of the profession through meaningful dialogue and interaction.
The summit is an event for emerging professionals, intern architects, and young architects licensed ten years or less. The day-long program will consist of focused presentations, panel discussions, a charrette, and a networking lunch with AIA Fellows. Themes of the summit will focus on marketing/branding, social technologies, evolving business models, and civic leadership.
