AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2027 in Philadelphia

The AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2027 lands in Philadelphia from May 19 to 22, 2027, bringing together thousands of architects, specifiers, engineers and firm leaders for four days of education, networking and product discovery. Hosted by the American Institute of Architects, AIA27 builds on the momentum of recent editions that drew more than 12,000 attendees and hundreds of exhibiting brands. Expect hundreds of expert-led sessions offering HSW, GBCI, RIBA and AIA LU credits, high-profile keynotes, architect-led building tours and nearly 100 networking events across the city. The AIA27 Expo runs May 20-21 inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center, connecting specifiers with manufacturers across building products, materials, technology and services. Philadelphia's Center City location puts attendees within walking distance of Reading Terminal Market, the Museum District and the city's historic core. With registration opening in early 2027 and hotel blocks releasing shortly after, booking accommodation early is strongly advised for firms sending teams of any size.
