The President’s Table
Uncomfortable Conversations: Architecture Unfiltered
6 November 2026 | 08:00–10:00 | Blue Crane Restaurant
An open table. Honest opinions. Five-minute debates.
Join us for a different kind of President’s Table – a breakfast of bold opinions, honest conversations and lively debate.
Members will submit controversial (or any) topics anonymously on arrival in a container, drawn at random for a five-minute debate.
From fee pressures and staff remuneration to professional ethics and the realities of architectural practice,
services delivered or not delivered by the institute, etc. no topic is off the table!
Come ready to challenge conventional thinking, share your perspective and engage in constructive conversation with fellow professionals.
Because sometimes, the conversations we need most are the ones we find hardest to have.
