NOMA was founded by architects who saw the need to advocate for the architecture and design industry to be more inclusive, cultivate emerging talent that is often overlooked, and create more equitable communities. We continue this fight for the profession today.

Over 60 sessions of premiere seminars, workshops & premiere keynotes present opportunities for CEUs, discussion, and education on relevant topics and projects across three days. Dynamic and engaging keynotes present on emerging trends and topics in the AEC fields.

Connect with firm leaders, emerging professionals, NOMAS students, and allied professionals that showcase diversity in the design field.

NOMA acknowledges outstanding projects by member chapters, firms and practitioners, finalists for the Barbara G. Laurie Student Design Competition, and outstanding achievements by NOMA Chapters and members at the Annual Awards Banquet. Elevation of the member work as best in the industry will be honored at the Phil Freelon Professional Design Awards.
