AIASF in collaboration with the Center for Architecture + Design and the AIASF Design Technology Committee presents an all-day 2023 Design Technology Symposium on Thursday, November 2 at the new Center for Architecture + Design in San Francisco.

AIASF is working to address access, or lack thereof, and equity in the workplace. While we have made significant strides at national, state, and local levels as a leading organization in the AEC industry, the AIASF chapter intends to continue promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion through impactful programs that aim to supplement our mission and values.

According to statistics database Zippia, “23.3% of all architects are women, while 76.7% are men. And in 2021, women earned 92% of what men earned”.

Programming that highlights issues of access and equity are limited, and even more so, is the discussion of women architects and their experiences out in the field, in the corporate environment, or as team leaders. AIASF collaborates closely with our Knowledge Communities to create programs and networking opportunities that realize the goal of equitable practice for everyone, advance the profession, and communicate the value of architecture to society.

A roundtable of experts will contribute to this conversation on the future of design and construction and how to enhance cross-collaboration and work relationships:

• Technology and Education: Dive into the union of technology and pedagogy. Discover how innovative tools are reshaping learning environments, and engage in discussions on creating accessible and inclusive educational experiences in the digital age.
• Technology and Practice: Examine the symbiotic relationship between modern technologies and professional workflows. Uncover strategies for integrating cutting-edge tools into daily operations, driving efficiency and effectiveness in various industries.
• Emerging Technologies: Venture into the frontier of innovation with a deep dive into technologies on the horizon. From AI to quantum computing, learn about the potential impacts, challenges, and opportunities these advancements present.
• Technology in Application: A hands-on exploration of applied tech. Witness real-world case studies and best practices that highlight the transformative effects of technology when seamlessly integrated into daily operations and methodologies.

This symposium is a recipient of the 2023 AIA Trust Component Grants Program made possible by Victor and the CNA Insurance Company
