A Curated Architecture & Design Social x AIA26

​Opening Night · By Graphisoft

​Ahead of AIA Conference 2026, we’re bringing together architects, designers, BIM and technology leaders, creatives, and forward-thinking members of the architecture community for meaningful conversations and genuine connections.

​We designed this evening to be a relaxed, community-driven gathering rather than a typical networking event or corporate mixer. The goal is simple: bring together great people from across architecture, design, and technology in one room before the conference officially begins — creating space for new relationships, collaborations, ideas, and conversations that rarely happen on the show floor.

​Expect a carefully selected mix of firm leaders, architects, BIM and design technology specialists, visualization artists, innovators, and emerging voices shaping the future of practice and the built environment.

​The evening will feature drinks, carefully chosen bites, music, and a welcoming atmosphere designed for connection, conversation, and community.
