Advancing Design Quality Management 2026

As design teams face increasing pressure to deliver more complex projects at greater speed, firms are rethinking how they approach quality across every stage of design. With AI accelerating production workflows, talent gaps widening, and client expectations rising, the need for scalable, modern and consistently applied QA/QC systems has never been greater.

Advancing Design Quality Management 2026 brings together Quality, Technical, Operations and Firm Leaders from the nation's top A/E organizations to explore how to elevate technical accuracy, strengthen team capability, and embed dependable quality practices into the daily work of designers. Across three days of workshops, case studies and peer-led discussions, you'll uncover how leading firms are integrating AI responsibly, building stronger pipelines of quality-minded designers, unifying standards across regions, and maintaining excellence even under accelerated delivery timelines.

Whether you're refining an established quality program or looking to build one that can scale, join us this April to gain the frameworks, tools and insights needed to reduce risk, boost profitability, and deliver better performing designs the first time, every time.
