"Events like these are why I get out of bed in the morning.”
– Amy King, Director, USGBC Leadership Institute
We're gearing up for the 3rd annual Design Like You Give a Damn: LIVE! (http://designlikeyougiveadamnlive.org), coming this year to the West Coast. The preeminent practitioners' forum of innovative panel discussions and workshops will take place on November 12-13, 2012 in San Francisco. This year's event promises to provide the best programming yet and will qualify AIA members for eight learning unit hours.
The two-day event brings together designers, architects, academics, philanthropists, and real estate, business and finance professionals to address the challenges and lessons learned in humanitarian design and community development. Panel topics address cutting-edge topics relevant to the field and workshops allow participants to gain hands-on knowledge from expert panelists. A Chapters-Wide Forum delves into topics of utmost importance to chapter members.
A Design Open Mic allows emerging and established designers and architects to present their humanitarian projects and design ideas in an engaging seven-minute Pecha Kucha-style format. (Psst...You can sign up below.)
This year's Design Like You Give a Damn: LIVE! will inform and delight, attracting the best and the brightest in humanitarian design and community development. We hope you can join us!
