Most residential designers spend the year putting out fires.

Client revisions, code changes, proposal after proposal — and somewhere in all of it, the big-picture stuff gets pushed to the back burner. The skills you meant to sharpen. The peers you meant to connect with. The credentials you meant to finish.

AIBD's Design+Build Cleveland (aka The AIBD Annual Conference) exists to fix that in four days flat.

From July 29–August 1 at Metropolitan at The 9, the AIBD Annual Conference brings together the sharpest residential designers in the country for an intensive stretch of education, recognition, and peer-to-peer learning that you won't find anywhere else.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

• CEUs knocked out for the year — CPBDs can satisfy annual continuing education requirements in a single trip, with sessions and tours structured to deliver exactly the credits you need
• Sessions that translate directly to your bottom line — including "Business in a Box: Building a Repeatable, Profitable Residential Design Practice" and a deep dive into integrated technology and building performance
• Real conversations with peers who face the same challenges you do — from rising-star panels to industry roundtables to the American Residential Design Awards Gala
• A firsthand look at where the profession is headed — including a special session on completing Frank Lloyd Wright's final residential vision

This year is also different from recent conferences in one critical way: there will be no live stream. If you want what this event offers, you need to be in the room.

Tickets are available now, and cancellations on or before July 27 receive a full refund — so there's no reason not to lock in your spot today.

1. Review the agenda and detailed schedule​
2. Purchase your conference and tour tickets​
3. Reserve your room at Metropolitan at The 9 at the AIBD rate

Four days. One city. A year's worth of momentum.

See you in Cleveland,
The AIBD Conference and Education Committees

P.S. Session recordings will be made available after the event — but the networking, the conversations, and the energy in the room? Those are only available if you're there.
