Recap - AIA25 Conference on Architecture in Boston

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the AIA Conference on Architecture 2025 (AIA25) in Boston—an inspiring whirlwind of learning, connection, and celebration. From representing Lake Flato and cheering on our three project awards at the gala, to participating in our in-person AIA COTE Leadership Group meeting and co-chairing a full-day symposium within the main conference, the week was packed with meaningful moments. I even kicked things off with a special event the day before the official start—setting the tone for a truly unforgettable experience.

I will recap it all from my perspective here. Also, photos are in chronological order.
