The Australian Institute of Architects is taking expressions of interest for the role of creative director for the 2023 National Architecture Conference.
Held since 2005, the national conference is a professional development event hosted annually for around 1,000 delegates. The 2023 conference will be held on the Gold Coast and will follow the theme “Precedent”, considering how the past can help us to face the challenges of the future.
“After decades of dire predictions, the 2020’s have arrived with rolling crises – health, climate, security,” the Institute said. “We are saturated with claims of ‘unprecedented times’, assertions that this is the end of business as usual. As a profession, architects are uniquely positioned to use this global inflection point to create a more sustainable and more equitable future.”
The creative director’s responsibilities will include the selection of conference titles, session topics and subject matter; conference program, including the duration and nature of the session; speaker selection; and graphic design. The conference creative director will be provided with a $10,000 honorarium.
Proposals are sought from individuals or collaborative teams with a concept for the creative direction of the 2023 conference, and interested parties are required to submit a brief proposal along with a single-page resumé per team member.
The creative director will be selected for how well they meet the criteria, which covers: relevance and appeal for the conference concept; the strength of the proposed speaker lineup and the ability to secure such speakers; and the capacity to deliver the conference within the required timeframe and budget.
Expressions of interest must be received by 5pm on 5 September. Interviews, if required, will take place in September, with the successful applicant notified by no later than 1 October.
