ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Design and Architecture are situated at the nexus of what has been accomplished and what is to come. Analyzing society’s key factors of the present to predict how to serve society for the future is vital in shaping healthy communities, from accessibility, equity, technology, and sustainability to the integration of these key indices across the many sectors of the built environment. What we design today creates our platform for tomorrow. It is critical to drive the conversation and implementation of how society is served and always consider how to - Design Forward.
