Conference Programming

Conference theme: Architects of Change

We are very excited that Chicago will be the host city for the 2012 CEIA Conference.  World renowned for its rich architectural history and tradition, Chicago is the perfect place to come for discussions about how we will shape our future in the field of cooperative education and internships.  Just as Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe took the city from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire to the creation of the Chicago “School” of architecture and gave the world the skyscraper, we will build on our history and explore great new ideas in work integrated learning. 

Deadline to submit program session proposal:  November 21, 2011.
