Since 2009, a national conversation for women in architecture and design has been held biannually, the AIA Women’s Leadership Summit. AIA Miami’s Women in Architecture Committee began extending that conversation locally with the 2018 “The Wave of Change” Summit. We will continue the conversation towards a more inclusive profession with "Women Rising to the Top: Leadership Skills for Success” in October 2025.

“Women Rising to the Top” provides a platform to celebrate and share the work of women leaders in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction, while providing inspiration for professional and personal growth. It is a conversation on the challenges facing women of diverse backgrounds today in advancing their careers and achieving equity and inclusion in the AEC professions.

The industry is becoming more diverse, however more needs to be accomplished. WIA Miami brings together thought leaders from across the country to discuss “Women Rising to the Top” from increased awareness and activism, building upon existing momentum to advance inclusion in the industry. This conference will focus on growth in leadership and design- providing pathways for emerging professionals to capitalize on the changing environment, and how emerging and seasoned professionals can work together to build a more equitable profession.
