AIA OVR PRACTICE INNOVATION LAB

The AIA Ohio Valley Region invites you to envision the future of practice.
 The  OVR  Practice Innovation Lab (PIL) is a multi-day event where teams comprised of students, associates, architects, Fellows, and other seasoned professionals come together to develop new practice models in the profession of architecture. 


Teams will present their ideas for the future practice of architecture during a moderated discussion at the Ohio Valley Regional Convention, where convention  attendees will vote for the People's Choice Award. (Travel stipends have been budgeted.)

For more information, view this  video  on the inaugural PIL, held in 2017, and visit the 2019 OVR PIL Registration Site. Questions? Contact Matt Toddy, AIA.
