President Bill Clinton will deliver the keynote address during the 2015 AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Atlanta on May 14th. The theme of this year’s AIA Convention is Impact, focusing on how architects impact their communities both locally and globally. Through learning the essential skills to become successful entrepreneurs, the AIA Convention will provide attendees the skills to grow, sell and promote their firm’s business.

Last year, it was Pharrell Williams, artist and urban planner Theaster Gates, and Jeanne Gang. 2013's keynotes were a professionally diverse set, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Architecture for Humanity co-founder Cameron Sinclair, and Blake Myoskie, founder of TOMS shoes. 2012's included a 6-piece set of architects involved in 9/11 memorials or rebuilding projects, along with the historian David McCullough and Hon. Shaun Donovan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

2015's National Convention will take place May 14-16 in Atlanta, Georgia. The AIA has yet to announce whether it will flesh out 2015's keynote line-up with representatives from the architectural or urban planning professions.
