Architecture Abroad: An International Practice Workshop
Wednesday, May 13, 2015 | 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM | 7.5 LUs | Georgia World
Congress Center Room B309 | Fee: $375
If you practice globally - or plan to expand your services abroad -
you need a working knowledge of international practice. Success hinges on
anticipating the challenges, risks, opportunities, and rewards that
different countries present. That's where this full-day workshop comes
in.
In Architecture Abroad, expert practitioners and senior government trade
officials will offer their insights to help you:
- Seek
quality work in global markets and obtain region-specific
information, including comparative economic trends and analyses.
- Prepare
for potential changes once work is secured.
- Anticipate
the impact of political systems, regulations, codes, delivery
methods, and cultural/environmental factors.
- Use
practice aids and tools to craft project execution strategies.
Each of the AIA's International Region zones (Europe/Africa/Middle
East, Asia Pacific, and the Americas) will be covered by experts who live
and work in the zone, including the official speakers listed below and
additional contributors totaling more than a dozen expert speakers
throughout the day.
Whether you already have an established international practice or are
looking to break into global markets, this workshop will help ensure your
success knows no borders.
