INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY SALONS
Salon Dates: 3/25, 4/22, 5/27, 6/24, 9/23, 10/22
This series is in its second year of programming and has proven to be very successful. It is the project delivery system that uses alternative business structures, practices and processes to collaboratively harness the talents and insights of all participants in the design, construction and fabrication process. It does not require any specific technology and, at a practical level, it is enhanced with technologies, such as Building Information Modeling and project-based websites, that facilitate collaboration. Integrated Practice focuses on the roles and relationships of each participant in the design process.

Target Audience: Industry Professionals
Estimated Attendance: 70-100 per salon
Sponsorship Levels: $2,500 · $5,000 · $7,500

*NEW* LEED EXAM PREP CLASSES
This new series of classes will provide an overview of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation process as well as helpful tips and resources for passing the exam. It is organized in conjunction with our new neighbor, the USGBC-NCC (U.S. Green Building Council's Northern California Chapter). It began April 2007 as a series of six classes per year and is expected to grow due to the high demand from the architectural community interested in sustainable design. It is expected to be the catalyst to prepare at least 500 individuals or more per year for LEED licensure.

LECTURES
Members and Design related professionals have an opportunity to support various lectures which take place here at the AIA SF office by providing anywhere between $300-$500 for food and drinks. Name placement of your firm or company will appear on our plasma screens during the Lecture.
