LUs & Brews
More engaging than a typical educational session…more structured than a sponsored happy hour. It’s LUs & Brews! Each vendor is assigned a table that will have 6-8 seats available. Attendees will come in and find a seat and you will conduct a short, mini-educational session at your table for the small group gathered there. Once complete, you will give each participant a ticket for a 4 oz pour from the brewery, and the participants will move on to a new table. Over the course of the event, you’ll have small group face time with 80+ architects, who will walk away with 2.0 AIA Learning Units. It’s a win-win! The LUs & Brews tables will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, at a cost of $2,000.
