Friday / April 10, 2020 / 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
For years, a group of technology leaders from major firms around Chicago have held regular roundtable discussions on technology and how it applies to the AEC industry. As remote working becomes the new norm, they thought it would be helpful to share some of their ideas and information with the AEC community. We are all being asked to use technology and techniques to help us all be productive and connected as we work together while being physically apart. The topics of these Tech Talks will center around those issues.
The first issue to be discussed at the premier AIA Chicago Tech Talk will be conferencing platforms. We’ve heard of Zoom, WebEx and other platforms, but what these technology leaders think of them? What are the available tools to help us stay connected and productive? We will talk about video conferencing and security to help you make informed choices and know what’s out there.
On this Tech Talk panel:
- Mark Schmieding, FAIA, Goettsch Partners, Director of Digital Practice
- Brad Novak, Goettsch Partners, Director of Information Technology
- Sunny Diaz, Environmental Systems Design, Inc., Senior BIM Manager
- Darya Stefanovic, AIA, bKL Architecture, Associate Director
- Paul F. Aubin, Paul F. Aubin Consulting Services

Tuesday / April 21, 2020 / 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM
For many years, our focus as a professional association has been on reducing or eliminating operating carbon from new buildings. But the significant scale and urgent timeframe of our climate crisis demand interventions that are broad and immediate, and that recognize decarbonization is directly correlated to health, safety, and equity in our communities.
Considering: 1) Reducing embodied carbon in new construction, including the construction process; 2) Electrification of buildings; and 3) Retrofitting existing buildings, this year’s thought leadership summit will explore high-impact actions in policy and practice that make actionable differences in atmospheric carbon over the next five years.
What are the data-driven interventions that will pay the highest dividends immediately, and what will position us to stay on the path to 2030 targets and net-zero 2050? What are the regulatory and financial frameworks necessary to support this scale and urgency?

Wednesday / June 24, 2020 / 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Learn all about the AIA College of Fellows and the process of nomination to Fellowship from Phil Castillo, FAIA (JAHN).
Fellowship was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual, but also honors before the public and the profession a model architect who has made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. The presentation will explain the nomination, application, and review process.
All are welcome to attend, regardless of current eligibility status, and learn about the road to this achievement.
Note, a ZOOM Meeting link will be shared with all registrants closer to June 24th.
