DesignDC 2009:
Architects & Planners Leading Change
There's a lot of talk about change these days, but the real buzz in the design, development and planning community is about HOW change is happening – and who the influencers are – architects and planners.
Presented by the Washington Chapter AIA and the Potomac Valley AIA, DesignDC 2009: Architects Leading Change is a three-day, peer-to-peer interactive conference and trade show July 14-16 at the Walter Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
