To increase attendance above the 550 young architects who attended last year’s event, the AIA Young Architects Forum (YAF) will host the New Voices, New Visions, New Horizons, the group’s first-ever preconvention summit on Wednesday, June 9, preceding the 2004 AIA National Convention in Chicago. The day’s events will include a special boat tour of the city, panel discussion with the profession’s newest design stars, and a design charrette focusing on a local Chicago community need. The YAF also will recognize the achievements of many young architects (licensed for 10 years or fewer), including those who received the 2004 Young Architects Award and the 1,500 newly licensed architects of the AIA in 2003, at a special reception 6–8 p.m. The group invites all young architects and their firm principals and mentors to share in this celebration. Sign up for this event (E04) on the AIA Convention Web site and join the Institute’s Young Architects for a memorable evening.
