The 2026 summit runs from 1 to 3 November at the Loews Hotel Kansas City at 1515 Wyandotte Street. It is organised by the AIA, with HDR and Trimble as featured sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>The programme combines keynote speakers, a continuing education strand covering career growth, community impact and well-being, and the WLS Storytelling Stage of TED-style talks. Around the sessions there are architecture walking tours of Kansas City neighbourhoods, firm visits, an Executive Leadership Lab for senior leaders and daily wellness activities. Registration is open, with a one-day pass for Monday or Tuesday at $400 and AIA members saving $240 on the full rate.<\/p>\n<p>For architects in Kansas City, hosting the summit brings senior women in architecture from across the US to the city for three days, with firm visits and tours that put local practices in front of a national audience. For practice leaders elsewhere, it is the main AIA event focused on leadership rather than design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Institute of Architects&#8217; national summit for women in architecture, with keynotes, continuing education, TED-style talks and firm visits at the Loews Hotel Kansas City<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,58,19,43,81],"tags":[],"location":[158],"class_list":["post-18652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-events","category-conferences","category-events","category-industry","category-us-events","location-kansas-city"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18654,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18652\/revisions\/18654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/18653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18652"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=18652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
