This year’s Convention offers more continuing education seminars than any other year. Forty-nine programs and five keynote addresses will cover issues including building green infrastructure, geothermal energy, senior housing, designing workspaces for up to four generations, solar homes, neighborhood revitalizations and a vision for light rail.

The variety of convention programs allows something for everyone. Architects, required by law to maintain their license through continuing education credits, can attend programs to learn about more technical aspects of architecture as well as programs of interest to them. Design professionals, the media and general public can attend the keynote presentations that have more universal appeal and additional seminars based on discussion topics that engage them. Registration is available for a convention package, a series of programs or one event. Media passes and more program information/ speaker contacts are available by contacting Jennifer Gilhoi at 612-338-6763 This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
