Dear Members of the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE):

If you are not already aware, CAE is teaming with CEFPI for the first time for an important educational conference to be held in Austin, Texas on February 26th - 27th. We are bringing together some of the world's greatest thinkers to explore the questions and answers on reshaping the classroom of tomorrow. What will the future of education look like? Who will be involved in the learning process? Where will learning take place? How and when will it occur? What is the classroom of the future? Be part of this inspiring and stimulating conversation with our Keynote Speakers and Thought Leaders. We encourage you to come to Texas to spend two days of presentations, conversation and valuable information you can use to help shape our school houses in the future. I look forward to seeing you in Austin.
