Knowledge communities are groups of people who share common challenges, opportunities, or a passion for a given topic. They  collaborate to deepen their understanding of that topic through ongoing learning and knowledge sharing.

AIA National has 20 practice-related knowledge communities which provide AIA members an opportunity to find knowledge related to their specialty area and connect with like-minded architects. Each knowledge community is unique in the depth of its collaboration with other professionals. The interdisciplinary culture of knowledge community educational events enhances the quality of the knowledge shared and provides sponsors with unique opportunities for exposure to decision-makers in a variety of sectors of the design and construction industry.

Knowledge community activities attract all sectors of the architecture, engineering, and construction community. Knowledge community conferences, events, scholarships, and publications provide a variety of sponsorship opportunities throughout the year that can accommodate a diverse range of marketing strategies.

Knowledge communities range in size from 250 members to more than 8,000 members. Find the knowledge community that best reaches your particular market of interest.
