AIA Colorado Practice + Design Conference 2026
AIA Colorado's annual statewide conference at the Keystone Conference Center in the mountains west of Denver, drawing more than 500 architects under the theme The Work of Tomorrow
Location: Keystone Conference Center, Keystone, Colorado
Date: 11 November 2026 to 13 November 2026
The Practice + Design Conference is AIA Colorado’s annual statewide conference, held in the mountains at the Keystone Conference Center in Keystone, west of Denver. The 2026 conference runs from 11 to 13 November under the theme The Work of Tomorrow, which frames architecture as the practice of optimism. It draws more than 500 architects and designers from across Colorado each year.
The programme combines keynotes, breakout sessions, short mini-CES presentations and member meet-ups across the three days, with full keynote details still to be announced. The expo hall is already sold out to exhibitors. Registration is open, with regular pricing until 31 October and late registration from 1 to 11 November, plus onsite registration at the conference desk. A conference room block at Keystone includes a free shuttle service.
For Denver and Colorado architects, this is the state profession’s main annual meeting and the simplest place to meet peers from the Front Range and the mountain towns at once. The sold-out expo also signals how keenly product suppliers want access to the Colorado market.
