Hello
AIA Maryland is on it is our last Call for Speakers for our second annual conference, Future Forward 2026 (we recognize the name overlap-and are leaning into it!).
Call for Speakers – Future Forward Conference 2026
The conference will take place on November 4, 2026, in Lithium, Maryland and we are actively seeking dynamic, practice-focused presentations.
We welcome proposals across the following tracks (with a small firm lens encouraged throughout):
Design
Sustainability & Resilience
Technology & Innovation
Housing
Equity & Community-Centered Design
Practice
Leadership & Emerging Professionals
Future Forward is intentionally grounded in real-world application. We are looking for sessions that move beyond theory-highlighting practical strategies, tools, and case studies that attendees can immediately apply within their firms and communities.
Key Dates
Submission Deadline: April 10, 2026
Notification of Acceptance: May 1, 2026
Thank you,
Jaclyn
