J oin us for Canada's premier annual gathering for the archi- tectural community at the 2024 Conference on Architecture in Vancouver, B.C. from May 14 to 18, hosted by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). Over five days, architects, interns, students, and associates will gather in Vancouver to network and discuss issues related to the practice of architecture, celebrate achievements, and socialize. As the RAIC's premiere face-to-face event, this year's conference will be drawing industry leaders from all realms of the design and architecture community. With our commitment to empower Canada's architectural community we have developed a program that feeds directly into our goal of providing the tools, educational opportunities, and practice supports to advance a built environment that is more livable and sustainable. The 2024 Conference Program features high-quality learning oppor- tunities that include interactive content, innovative ideas, and engaging discussions. Participants at all career levels will take away insights, inspi- ration, and ideas for practical application. The program includes over 50 Continuing Education sessions led by industry experts covering eight (8) streams including: • Climate Justice and Resilience, Sustainability, Adaptation and Mitigation • Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice • Health, Safety, and Accessibility • History, Heritage and Culture • Housing, Planning and Urbanism • Indigenous-Led Architecture • Innovation in Materials, Technology and Construction • The Practice and Business of Architecture In addition to education sessions, the conference program also features an Opening Ceremony with renown speakers, a Keynote Lunch, the RAIC Expo on Architecture, and events, including architectural tours, studio crawls, the RAIC College of Fellows and Syllabus Graduates Convocation, and the RAIC Presidents Dinner – Celebration of Excellence, among others. The opening ceremony will feature a keynote speech by James P. Cramer, Hon AIA, Hon IIDA, from the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Architecture. Cramer will discuss "7 Lessons on Agility Leading to New Success and Significance," which will focus on the future of the procession. The keynote lunch, organized by the RAIC Foundation, will be centred around the current challenges faced by women in architecture. While the profession is moving towards achieving gender parity goals, women in architecture still encounter difficulties in their education, work, and career advancement. The event aims to facilitate a discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion to better understand how the profes- sion can support women in architecture. This inter-generational panel brings together architects Camille Mitchell of SvN and BAIDA (Toronto), Marie-Odile Marceau of McFarland Marceau Architects (Vancouver), architectural editor Elsa Lam of Canadian Architect and BEAT (Toronto), and Eladia Smoke (Smoke Architecture and the RAIC Indigenous Task Force). The Architecture Expo provides an opportunity to connect with the architectural community and engage with decision-makers from various organizations. Whether you attend as a guest at the free after- noon session or as part of your conference pass, the expo is a great place to gather, learn, share ideas, and explore the best products and services available to the industry. The Studio Crawl offers a unique opportunity for conference attendees and the public to visit the offices of architectural practices in the Railtown area. Please visit our conference website for a list of partici- pating firms. The RAIC Convocation Ceremony is a longstanding tradition hosted by the College of Fellows for Syllabus Graduates and includes an induction ceremony for the 2024 Fellows and Honorary Fellows. The President's Dinner will celebrate award-winning architecture and acknowledge those who exemplify excellence in their work and commitment. The RAIC Conference on Architecture offers a unique opportu- nity for architects, interns, students, and associates from across Canada to connect, learn, and grow together.
