Summary:
Join us on the Third Thursday of the month for a special evening to connect with the Chicago architecture community and honor some of its most distinguished members.
This month’s gathering is dedicated to celebrating and drawing inspiration from the exceptional architects from AIA Chicago who were inducted into the prestigious AIA College of Fellows (FAIA).
We’ll begin the night by raising a toast to our community’s success, including a sincere recognition of our generous 2025 Sponsors and 1869Circle Partners. Their dedication is essential to making AIA Chicago’s programming possible.
The main event shines the spotlight on our three newest AIA Fellows. Elevation to the College of Fellows is one of the highest honors, recognizing significant contributions to architecture and society. Each newly inducted Fellow will share career highlights and key professional insights in a dynamic, fast-paced lightning round of presentations.
Come to learn, enjoy complimentary food and drinks, and engage in lively conversation with your peers.
