New! Five experiential zones

More than ever before, the AIA24 Expo is designed to help attendees connect, discover, learn, and exchange ideas. That’s why we’re introducing five new experiential zones to foster learning about emerging trends and connection with peers who share common goals.

The Inspire Zone: Sustainability, new ideas and approaches, and social change
The Innovate Zone: Design software and systems, AI, generative design, design simulation, AR/VR, digital twinning, building automation, and the metaverse
The Design Zone: Interior architecture, interior design, design awards, design trends, and designing with AI
The Build Zone: Wood, metal, and concrete construction, project collaboration, material science, sustainable materials, automation, additive construction, and prefab construction
The Prosper Zone: Practice management, investing, firm finance, careers, business development, and succession planning

Each zone will feature cool new technology and interactive experiences to facilitate networking, learning, and real-time inspiration. Related exhibitors and CE spaces will be clustered around each zone, so you can continue the conversation or take a course. There’s also a Relax and Recharge Lounge for a quick work, personal, or social media break.

One-on-one time & technical advice

Our industry is brimming with innovative products and materials. But architecture professionals don’t always have access to technical experts to answer their product questions—until now. The AIA24 app (available in May) lets you schedule one-on-one meetings with exhibitors before the show.

CE with exhibitors

Take a short course with leading building product manufacturers, right on the expo floor. 120+ courses cover topics including sustainability, window solutions, paint technology, roofing, AI, and much more. These courses are extremely popular—be sure to mark your calendar for your desired expo credit sessions.

AIA Sample Gallery, powered by Swatchbox

Expo is known for bringing together the world’s top building manufacturers. The AIA Sample Gallery, powered by Swatchbox, makes it easy to discover, touch, learn about, and order material samples at the expo, for free. Download the Swatchbox app to get started, then make the Sample Gallery your first stop. Scan QR codes to request samples in the gallery and across the expo floor.

Interactive experiences

Cool new technology and interactive experiences to facilitate networking, learning, and real-time inspiration.

There’s also a Relax and Recharge Lounge for a quick work, personal, or social media break, and the Puppy Park is coming back by popular demand! Plus, the AIA Booth will be the destination for the AIA community to connect, learn about member benefits and resources, and get a glimpse of the new AIA Global Campus for Architecture & Design, opening in 2025.
