AIA Charlotte is looking for Associate and Young Architects licensed 10 years or less to showcase their projects during the membership meeting. This event is a valuable opportunity for our best and brightest minds to engage and connect with more seasoned professionals and industry supporters through the power of networking. Presenters will have a table around the perimeter of the room and attendees will walk around and engage with the presenters. Most presenters will have 2-4 boards or bring a digital display and a laptop to showcase their work. Presenters are responsible for power strips or extension cords that will be required for each presentation. This is an informal format with multiple displays setup at the same time.
