Lead by the WiA AIA|LA committee, Powerful is the AIA|LA’s symposium dedicated to gender equity.  Entering its fifth iteration, this day-long event features inspirational and energetic presentations that showcase women who are leading the design profession.

The 2017 conference presented internationally acclaimed names, breakout sessions that delivered tool kits to build careers, and informative panels, all for less than the price of a hotel room.

Headliners for the 2017 sold out conference included:

+ Gabriela Carrillo, Recipient of the 2017s Architect of the Year, Women in Architecture Award
+ Acclaimed Urbanist Dana Cuff
+ 2017 AIA Architecture Firm Award Recipient Marsha Maytum, FAIA
+ Political Strategist and Public Policy Expert Amy Elaine Wakeland

Whether you are an early career designer looking for skills that lead to successful careers, or a firm partner interesting to raising your firm’s profile, do join us at Powerful 5.

Save the Date! Powerful V is set for Thursday, September 20, 2018 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles .
