RIBA AI in Practice Summit 2027
RIBA Academy's one day summit at the Business Design Centre, London, on moving AI in architectural practice from experiment to scaled, sustainable capability
Location: Business Design Centre, Islington, London
Date: 3 February 2027, from 9am
The RIBA AI in Practice Summit 2027 takes place at the Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, London on 3 February 2027, from 9am to 6pm, with a live streamed option for those who can’t attend in person. Organised by RIBA Academy, the summit focuses on moving beyond experimentation to build scalable, sustainable AI capability in practice, covering strategy, governance, readiness, implementation and value.
Speakers include RIBA president Chris Williamson, Keir Regan-Alexander of Arka Works, Oliver Lowrie of Ackroyd Lowrie, May Winfield of Buro Happold, Dominik Holzer of the University of Melbourne, Martha Tsigkari of Foster and Partners, Nitsan Bartov of Henning Larsen and Nicolas Catellier of BIM Pure. HP is headline partner, with Gendo as supporting partner. Early bird tickets are £250 plus VAT for RIBA members and £350 plus VAT for non members, and the day closes with networking drinks from 4.45pm.
Many practices have moved past trialling AI tools and are now working out governance, liability and where the value sits. This is the RIBA event aimed at exactly that question, with practice leaders rather than vendors doing most of the talking.
