This year’s a'24 Conference, known fondly as “little a,” combines AIA San Diego's signature annual event with our contribution to the World Design Capital program. 

LOCATION
Park & Market
1100 Market Street
San Diego

DATE & TIME
Sept. 26, 2024
3pm - 8pm

The theme of this year's conference, Design for a Better World, supports the WDC mission directly and gives our community an opportunity to ignite the conversation on how we, as architects, are fulfilling our role in designing our region's future. 

The conference is open to the community and, while the conversation will be focused primarily towards built environment professionals, we hope this year’s programming will inspire a broader audience.
