Created by the state AIA chapters of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the unconventional architecture conference influences artists, architects, designers, and engineers to design the future.
Bringing the conference to you
Aspire debuted in 2019, transforming the beautiful and vibrant city of Asheville, North Carolina, into a nexus of architecture, design, and engineering. Though this year’s plans to return to Asheville succumbed to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aspire has been reimagined into a virtual format with equally robust programming. AIA Georgia, AIA North Carolina, and AIA South Carolina are also excited to welcome AIA Tennessee and its members to the 2020 event.
Connections and collaboration
Aspire Talks and Chats invite attendees into an intimate learning experience. Talks, featuring renowned thought leaders in the AEC industry, provide overviews of topics spanning health, housing, and the business of architecture. Chats follow, allowing attendees to engage with the speakers in small breakout sessions for a more profound conversation on the Talk subjects.
Live and on-demand access
Attendees for Aspire 2020 receive live access to over 30 seminars, keynotes and special events, and on-demand access to rewatch for up to a year.
You’ll leave Aspire with actionable insights that will sharpen your practice and inspire your projects, from some of the most visionary architects, designers, firms, and futurists.
