20 WYOMING ARCHITECTURE .22 | aia-wyoming.org something valuable to my career and growth in architecture, but the fun did not stop there. The Architecture Expo contained hundreds of product vendors and product representatives. The room containing the playground of products was at least three football fields. A’22 had the expo displayed like the City of Chicago with neighborhoods of products. I spent several hours on the expo floor and still did not see everything there was to see. The technological advancements several products are making are exciting for the future of design. One of the evening events was called the “Block Party,” where the expo floor was open to everyone to mingle and eat. Everyone I met at the conference was welcoming and excited to speak with someone fromWyoming, even if they did not know where Wyoming was! I want to thank everyone in our AIA community for allowing me to represent you as the Associate Director. I encourage all of our emerging professionals, associate members and non-members to consider attending our local conferences each year and also a conference such as A’22. The power our profession has to influence the future is exciting, and our community at AIA Wyoming is unique and special. Embrace the unique opportunities and support your Wyoming AIA Chapter offers you! b CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19
