Thank you for your interest in the AIA National Convention 2015. The general Call for Proposals closed on August 15, 2014. We are now accepting proposals from our Invited Speaker category which includes AIA Knowledge Communities, AIA Components and other invited guests. We are thrilled that you are interested in educating our members. The AIA Convention 2015 will be held Thursday, May 14th through Saturday, May 16th at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.

Our strategic education goals aim to create an experience that inspires and empowers, feature interactive, engaging learning, and showcases emerging trends and innovation. To that end, we have simplified the submission and review process. The submission will be reviewed by a peer review panel on the following areas:

• Emerging Trend or New Ideas
• Learner Engagement
• Post-Convention Value

All proposals will be rated, ranked and selected by the Convention Education Peer Review Team. Please refer to the table below to review action items and related deadlines.

Action Item	Description	Deadline
Submit Proposal Details	Provide thesis, learner engagement, delivery style, learner outcomes, etc.	November 7th
Proposals Review	Peer review of submissions	November 10th
Final Decision	Notification sent to submitters	December 1st

The timeline to support our strategic goals is very aggressive and the above deadlines are FIRM. Proposals that fail to meet these deadlines will not be considered for the education program at AIA Convention 2015.
