The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) Industry Night brings together experimental design research, emerging professional talent, and leading regional practices.
Through rapid firm profiles and informal table conversations, the event provides a venue for firms of all types to share their work, identify prospective hires and collaborators, and engage with the methods and ideas shaping contemporary architectural practice.
