Accelerator Day

AIA New York’s inaugural Accelerator Day is an important continuing education event for architects in New York. Offering a full day of continuing education courses through registered educational sessions, Accelerator Day benefits members of the New York design community, helping them meet their AIA membership and state licensing education requirements by giving them a continuing education boost at the halfway point of the year.

This year, Accelerator Day will focus on content related to resilience and energy efficiency.

Classes run from morning until late afternoon on an hourly basis so attendees can develop personalized schedules to meet their needs over the course of the conference.

AIA Members (per one-hour session): $10 with discount code*
