The AIBC 2017 Annual Conference is an opportunity to engage
directly with practicing architects, firm owners and influential
stakeholders in the building and design industries. As the only
architecture-specific event of its size in British Columbia, the AIBC
conference is the single most effective way to communicate with a
captive audience of close to 500 delegates.
This year’s conference theme ‘Interpreting Integration’ provides a
unique moment for connection with delegates, which is reflected in
our sponsorship offerings.
The Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC) is an
independent, professional self-governing body established in
1920 by provincial statue (the Architects Act) with the mandate to
regulate the profession of architecture on behalf of the public.
