2026 Timely Topics Short Programming Series Brainstorm
AIA Seattle is beginning to plan for the 2026 "Timely Topics" Short Programming Series. This new education series is an exciting opportunity to fill gaps in our education offerings and explore the hottest topics shaping the AEC industry today. Each session will offer bite-sized learning through engaging talks, case studies, and hands-on activities, followed by networking happy hours. We're asking members, advocates, partners, and thought leaders to answer a few questions and help shape the direction of the program, including helping us identify the most pressing issues to explore. Your feedback is deeply valued!
