A DIGITAL CONFERENCE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARCHITECTS Hi, I’m Michael Riscica , founder of Young Architect. I’m a Licensed Architect, nationally-recognized Blogger, a Speaker, a Coach and mission-driven advocate for the next generation of Architects. Why is now the time to attend the Young Architect Conference? This is our profession, we’re inheriting it. Things are moving at a faster pace than ever before, and more Young Architects are moving into positions of power. Are you equipped for long-term success? You can be. I created the Young Architect Conference because the world turned virtual, and now more then ever, the Young Architect community needs to be brought back together with an AMAZING online digital event. WHAT MAKES AN ARCHITECTURE CONFERENCE YOUNG? The term young in our conference titles isn’t there just to reflect our brand’s name, it is much more than that. It is there to tell a story, to let you in on a little secret that makes these events so powerful. Young is the mindset. WHEN WE SAY YOUNG”… Young isn’t about your age in numbers. It is about the way you approach learning. Wide-eyed, eager and hungry for more. It is the way that you embrace modern technology and realize that yes, even great networking can be done over Zoom. It is the way you feel about your profession, excited and optimistic about the future. Young isn’t about celebrating the same star-architects or hiring outside celebrity guest speakers to make a conference great”. It is about elevating members within the community to have their voices heard on the big stage, which means you can actually relate to what they are saying. We do this by asking our community to submit proposal ideas for workshops and then enroll them in our Speaker Development Program to bring out the very best in them. Young isn’t about having only one type of person represented as experts”. It is about bringing all people, of all backgrounds, colors, genders together to share their voices, equally. Young is all about the youthful approach to professional development. It means you know that a suit and tie isn’t what makes you a professional, it is what is on the inside. It’s knowing that you can have fun and get the job done. It is the desire to continuously improve yourself so you can be the best version of you. Young is talking about the tough stuff, the important stuff, the current stuff, the topics that the next generation will be facing in their lifetimes. At our conferences we talk about mental health, burnout, soft skills & communication tools, diversity and inclusion just to name a few. You see, it isn’t the old way of thinking about Architecture Conferences, it is the new, YOUNG way. So are you YOUNG? If so, join us this summer, July 21st – 25th, 2022 for the next Young Architect Conference! Grab a ticket now!
