Over the next few weeks, you can earn CEUs, solve real‑world project challenges, and connect with peers through AIBD’s live webinars, roundtables, and on‑demand courses—all designed specifically for residential design professionals.

Below is a quick snapshot of what’s coming up and how to plug in.

All these events can be registered at AIBD.org/webinars.

Upcoming live webinars & roundtables

These live sessions are designed to be highly practical and immediately applicable to your work.

High-Performance Homes Team – A Practical Guide to Universal Home Design (1.0 P3 CE)

Date: May 19, 2026 - Time: 2:00 pm EDT - Duration: 1 hour

Turn universal design from a “code issue” into a marketability advantage by working through a 20‑page checklist that bridges high‑performance construction with long‑term livability. This interactive roundtable focuses on real friction points—kitchens, baths, systems, and structure—so come ready to share your screen and contribute.

Members Helping Members: Design Solutions & Best Practices for Short-Term Vacation Rentals (1.0 P4 CE)

Date: May 21, 2026 - Time: 3:00 pm EDT - Duration: 1 hour

Learn what fire marshals are being trained to look for in Limited Public Tourist Establishments and STR properties, and how that should shape your ADUs, guest suites, and accessory spaces. You’ll see a real‑world example and walk away with checklists and talking points you can use with clients who may convert part of their home into a rental in the future.

CE Watch Party – Rewriting the Fee Formula (1.0 P1‑CE)

Date: May 26, 2026 - Time: 2:00 pm EDT - Duration: 1 hour

Watch a replay of a BQE webinar together with fellow AIBD members and rethink how you price your services. You’ll explore value‑based pricing, three‑tier proposals, and strategies to win better projects at higher fees—no live Q&A, just focused content and 1.0 P1‑CE for attending.

Coffee With Bernie: European Residential Design Trends America Is Missing (1.0 P3 CE)

Date: June 12, 2026 - Time: 10:00 am EDT - Duration: 1 hour

Join a live, interactive “Coffee With Bernie” session exploring five European trends—from net‑zero envelopes and biophilic interiors to high‑end prefab and adaptive reuse—and how to adapt them for your next custom home. This is a peer‑to‑peer discussion, not a lecture, so bring your questions, camera, and biggest design challenges.

Quick action tip: For best results, add these dates to your calendar as you register so you don’t miss live CE credit opportunities.

Learn anytime with AIBD On-Demand Courses

If your schedule is tight, you can still keep your CE on track with a robust catalog of on‑demand courses at AIBD.org/Courses. You’ll find focused lessons on technical design, practice management, business, and emerging technologies tailored specifically to residential design.

Complimentary replays: Coffee With Bernie & more

You don’t have to wait for a live program to start learning. AIBD offers complimentary replays of popular shows and webinars, powered by GoToStage. Recent Coffee With Bernie episodes have explored topics like lifestyle‑driven design, blending indoor and outdoor spaces, and cost‑effective build ideas.

You can also browse recordings from the High‑Performance Homes Team and corporate partner webinars, ranging from building science and universal design to marketing, AI, and practice management. These replays are a great way to sample topics before attending live sessions.

How to get the most from AIBD webinars

To get the most value from these offerings, consider a few quick tips:

• Register early for multiple events at once so you can map out a mini learning plan around your practice goals.
• Invite a colleague or team member to attend different webinars and debrief together afterward to multiply the value.
• Block your calendar, turn off notifications, and come prepared with one or two specific questions to ask during interactive sessions like roundtables and Coffee With Bernie.

If you have questions about which webinars or roundtables are the best fit for your CE needs or practice goals, just reply to this email—we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
