WHAT IS THE YOUNG ARCHITECT SUMMER SERIES?
The Young Architect Summer Series is a 5-day ONLINE event created for Young Architects by Young Architects. We focus on personal and professional development, learning from community leaders and unsung heroes, and helping each other reach the next level of success. But most importantly, we listen to YOU.

INSPIRATIONAL TALKS
Our keynote speakers share real-world and inspirational stories of success in the world of Architecture, as well as practical tips to thrive in your career.

ACTIONABLE WORKSHOPS
Our workshops are highly-interactive, helping you make meaningful progress and achieve results in real time.

INSPIRED COMMUNITY
The heartbeat of it all: The incredible Young Architect Community. Connect with a community of peers who are committed to personal and professional excellence.

LIVE SESSIONS + RECORDINGS
Attend live speaking and networking sessions. Having FOMO about missing a session? After the event, you'll have access to recordings of our YASS educational content.
WHAT MAKES AN ARCHITECTURE CONFERENCE YOUNG?
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!

No, while the conference draws many professionals in architecture, the personal & professional development is applicable to growth-minded people in virtually any creative & design related fields.
NO! 🙂 While other people in the industry have their own definition of what “Young Architect” means, we use “Young Architect” to describe a mindset. That’s right, age has nothing to do with it! In our community, it means enthusiastic, excited, and optimistic, with a passionate spirit to do your very best work, and make your biggest contribution.
