Every two years the Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) hosts a conference at

history dating back to 1956.
Each year Banff Session welcomes 450 architects, interior designers, academics,
and students from around the world to learn and connect with one another.
Over the course of two days, attendees are treated to a welcome reception, 20+
inspiring speakers, an engaging tradeshow experience, world-class cuisine, a
grand evening reception and the AAA’s annual general meeting.
