Klaus Philipsen, FAIA, went to the AIA Convention in Denver last week, and this distinguished member of the AIA did not have many good things to report on the effectiveness of the event.  Here is his online article about the convention:

Will the AIA Convention go the way of the Dinosaurs?

In response, ArCH member Rand Soellner, Architect, ArCH, NCARB, posted a message on the LinkedIn website where Klaus’ assessment was registered.  Soellner’s message was: You do Not need to be a member of the AIA nor attend expensive conventions that leave huge carbon footprints to receive CEUs, which appears to be one of the main incentives to attend a convention like this.  Better to join ArCH.  ArCH has a library of over a thousand FREE CEU courses you can take online at your convenience.  Click here to see ArCH’s library of Free CEU courses:
