Specialty forums have been established to deliver programs that coincide with specialized areas of practice: Commercial, Education & Research, Government, Healthcare, Hospitality, Residential, Retail, and Facility Planning and Design.
The links below will redirect you to the IIDA International site, where you can connect to resources in each of these forums. Tapping into this network of exclusive contacts puts you in touch with the expertise of our industry's leaders.
