The Texas Society of Architects invites you to join thousands of architectural professionals by exhibiting at the 84th Annual Conference and Design Expo. Fort Worth is historically our most well-attended conference. And, all signs point to another great event in 2023!
The TxA Annual Conference and Design Expo is an intensive three-day experience drawing thousands of industry professionals each year. Our wide range of engaging and timely educational sessions, tours, and special events provide architects with the unique opportunity to fulfill their required credits for licensure, network with colleagues and vendors, and leave recharged and inspired for the year ahead. Held on the first two days of the Annual Conference, the TxA Design Expo is the premier architectural products showcase in the Southwest.
