Join us for a 2-day virtual symposium on September 11th and 12th.
Design To Change is WIA New Orleans' annual Design + Practice Exchange: a two-day symposium of compelling conversations and design presentations, centering the voices of women in architecture. This year, the AIA + WIA New Orleans are partnering with WIA Austin to develop the second annual DPE with a renewed focus on equity and the environment.
The goal of this program is to advance and promote women leaders of all racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds in architecture and the allied design and building industries. This event is open to people of all gender identities, including men, queer, trans* and nonbinary people. HSW and CEU Credits available.
