AIANH is offering our annual, year-end Education Day Series, with 6 one-hour programs over 4 days in December.

The first three courses will be offered together as a live event on Dec. 1 at the McLane Audubon Center in Concord.  This series focuses on Alternative Practice Types, looking at architects who have expanded their business model beyond traditional design services.  The AIANH Member Annual Meeting will take place during lunch after these courses.

The remaining three courses will be offered online via zoom on Dec. 8, 13 and 15. The series focuses on the Practice of Practice, sharing important information and trends for firms to be aware of to build better businesses and stay abreast of design requirements. 

We are offering a variety of registration options to accommodate as many members as possible.
