AIA Florida 2026 Legislative Day: Registration, Committee Sign Up, Call for Resolutions and More

Description

Register for AIA Florida’s 2026 Legislative Day, the annual flagship advocacy event that encourages and brings together architects, students, and associates from across the state to advocate for the issues currently affecting our profession. With HB 607 moving to its second subcommittee in January, your presence is needed to show lawmakers how many members of our profession in Florida serve as a part of our collective voice as we advocate for architecture at our state’s capitol.

Legislative Day will be Tuesday, Jan. 27, kicking off with a student reception on Monday, Jan. 26. View our full Legislative Day schedule and register to join us HERE.

Our room block at Aloft Downtown Tallahassee is sold out. Due to the legislative session, hotel availability in Tallahassee is limited. Attendees are encouraged to book accommodations as soon as possible. A list of nearby alternative hotels can be found HERE.

A webinar will be held on Jan. 15, 2026, at 1 p.m. Eastern in advance of Legislative Day to review issues to be discussed with lawmakers. Register for the webinar.
