SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Congresswoman Dina Titus
DESCRIPTION:Join Host Committee members Gary Williams\, AIA\, James Horvath\, AIA\, Jonathan Sparer\, FAIA\, Carlos D. Fernandez & ArchiPAC\, the American Institute of Architects Political Action Committee\, for an evening in support of Congresswoman Dina Titus\, a fighter for Southern Nevada. \nWhy This Matters to AIA Members\nStrong communities depend on thoughtful design\, resilient infrastructure\, attainable housing\, and a fair process for delivering public projects—priorities that transcend party lines and bring people together around the value of the built environment. \nRep. Dina Titus has consistently worked with architects and design professionals on these issues\, using her position on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to support policies affecting federal buildings\, infrastructure\, resilience\, emergency management\, and communities across Nevada. \nAs the lead House sponsor of the Democracy in Design Act\, she has championed a bipartisan principle central to our profession: that federal architecture should reflect the diversity\, character\, and needs of the communities it serves rather than a single government-mandated style. She has also supported efforts to expand housing resources for fast-growing states such as Nevada\, helping address one of the most urgent challenges facing our region. \nThis event is an opportunity for Southern Nevada’s architecture and design community to come together\, engage in the civic process\, and support a proven advocate for design freedom\, stronger communities\, and the important role architects play in shaping our shared future.

SUMMARY:Placemaking Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Historic preservation and architecture are deeply intertwined\, they’re essentially two sides of the same coin\, shaping how we interpret\, and protect the built environment over time. As cities evolve under pressure\, we are increasingly asked to navigate the tension between preserving the past and building for the future. This summit convenes architects\, planners\, developers and cultural leaders to discuss the evolving relationship between preservation and redevelopment in Southern Nevada. Drawing from local perspectives\, including insights shaped by institutions like The Neon Museum\, the conversation will examine how design decisions are made in a unique landscape such as Las Vegas\, where cultural memory\, economic pressure\, and identity are constantly in flux. \nCredits: 3 LU | HSW \nSession highlights include: \nAdaptive Reuse as SustainabilityExploring how existing structures are reimagined for new use\, from warehouses to lofts and galleries. Topics include material reuse\, reduced demolition waste\, and creative design within existing constraints\, with examples of adaptive reuse across the city. \nUrban Redevelopment & RevitalizationA look at how preservation can serve as an anchor for urban renewal\, and the role cultural institutions play in maintaining living history amid ongoing city-wide transformation. \nCultural Storytelling Through DesignHow preserved architecture reflects and communicates the stories of communities\, craftsmanship\, and social and economic history—preserving identity through the built environment. \nEvent Agenda\n1:00 – 1:30 PM – Check-In & Lunch\nWelcome reception · Networking \n1:30 PM – Welcome from AIA Leadership\nOpening remarks \n1:35 PM – Brett Robillard\, AIA\nGensler: Historic Commercial Center Vision Plan \n2:35 PM – Break \n2:45 PM – A Conversation about The Historic Westside\nConversation featuring Dedra Edmond-Drew and Melvin Green\, AIA \n3:45 PM – Robert Finnegan\, PE\nEngineering Las Vegas: A Brief History in Time \n4:45 PM – Closing Discussion\nLed by Erik Swendseid\,AIA \n5:00 PM – Event Ends \nThank you to Advocate Sponsor\nWalter P Moore \nThank you to Ally Sponsor\nGensler

SUMMARY:Affordable Housing Innovation: Health Partnerships\, Cooperative Homeownership\, and Modular Construction
DESCRIPTION:Housing stability plays a critical role in public health\, economic resilience\, and community wellbeing. This program explores innovative development strategies that connect housing\, healthcare partnerships\, cooperative ownership models\, and modular construction to expand access to safe and affordable housing. Jeremy Liu\, CEO of Creative Development Partners\, will share how mission-based real estate development can improve health outcomes\, strengthen communities\, and create sustainable pathways to prosperity in under-resourced neighborhoods. \nJeremy Liu\, CEO of Creative Development Partners (CDP)\, will present recent initiatives that leverage real estate development\, complex financing\, creative placemaking\, and small business support to build community prosperity while maintaining multiple bottom-line outcomes: financial viability\, environmental sustainability\, and measurable community benefit. The presentation will examine emerging approaches such as health-prescribed housing\, partnerships with healthcare providers to improve health outcomes through stable housing; cooperative homeownership models that expand access to long-term financial stability; and modular off-site construction strategies that can accelerate housing production while improving quality\, safety\, and cost control. \nParticipants will gain insight into how architects\, planners\, and development professionals can contribute to housing solutions that improve public health\, expand equitable homeownership opportunities\, and deliver resilient\, sustainable communities. The session highlights the role of design and development strategies in addressing housing shortages\, improving occupant health and safety\, and strengthening the social and economic vitality of underserved neighborhoods. \nLearning Objectives \n1.

SUMMARY:Designing for the Mojave Desert: A Conversation on Native Landscaping Policy\, Practice\, and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas is at an inflection point. As water scarcity intensifies and landscape standards evolve\, the case for native and regionally adaptive planting has never been stronger — yet barriers in procurement\, policy\, availability\, and perception continue to slow adoption. \nJoin the AIA Las Vegas Placemaking Committee on April 30 for a dynamic moderated panel exploring how landscape decisions are made in Southern Nevada\, from concept through installation and long-term maintenance. This discussion will bring together leading voices across design\, horticulture\, policy\, and practice to share real-world experience on cost\, procurement\, risk\, and performance when working with native and regionally adaptive plant material. \nThe panel will focus on what works\, what does not\, and how project teams are adapting their approach to create more durable\, climate-appropriate landscapes without sacrificing project goals. Attendees will gain insight into the biggest challenges in incorporating native plant material\, the limitations surrounding plant availability and procurement\, the importance of collaboration across teams\, and the long-term maintenance considerations that impact project success. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn what part of the project lifecycle presents the biggest challenges in incorporating native and regionally adaptive plant material.\nLearn the challenges that exist in scaling native and regional plant availability compared to traditional landscape palettes.\nAssess how collaboration impacts the feasibility and execution of native landscaping strategies.\nAssess how native and regionally adaptive landscapes perform over time\, including maintenance requirements\, common failure points\, and strategies for long-term success.\n\nModerated by:\nJazmine Harris — Placemaking Committee Chair\, AIA Las Vegas \nPanelists: \n\nNorm Schilling\nMelissa Gonzalez\nKym Martin\n\nEvent Details:\nDate: April 30\nLocation: UNR Cooperative Extension\, 8050 Paradise Rd #100\, Las Vegas\, NV 89123 — Classrooms B&C \nCredits: 1.5 LU|HSW \nAttendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a tour of the new native garden\, seed greenhouse\, harvesting area\, or seed library after the panel discussion by Lauren McGue. \nThis event is presented by the AIA Las Vegas Placemaking Committee as part of its ongoing commitment to design excellence\, sustainability\, and the transformation of the built environment in Southern Nevada. \nNote: Classroom assignment is subject to change. Updates will be communicated prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - The Importance of Medical Equipment Planning by The Concord Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Lunch & Learn with Concord Group and connect with fellow industry professionals while gaining valuable insights and continuing education in a collaborative setting. \nWhat’s Keeping You Up at Night About Your Medical Equipment  (Project) Budget?\nA well-run capital healthcare project doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of smart planning\, accurate budgeting\, and careful coordination. Whether it’s a new hospital build\, a clinical renovation\, or a major equipment upgrade\, project success depends on getting the details right from the very beginning.\nOne of the most critical—yet often underestimated—components of any healthcare construction project is Medical Equipment Planning (MEQ). In fact\, medical equipment can easily account for 15% to 25% (or sometimes even more) of the total project budget\, depending on the type of facility\, the technology being used\, and the services being delivered.\n\nJoin Concord Group for an insightful discussion on the budgeting challenges\, strategic considerations\, and best practices that drive successful medical equipment planning.\nSecure your spont today!\n\nCredits: 1LU|HSW
