Step into a world where creativity meets legacy at the AIA International Conference 2025, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sri Lanka—the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.

We invite you to engage with world-class speakers, immerse yourself in thought-provoking discussions, and experience this celebration of architecture and design firsthand. Speakers include Moshe Safdie, Ma Yansong, Brinda Somaya and Jun’ya Ishigami.

Beyond the conference hall, you will set out on curated architectural tours, revealing Sri Lanka’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, tropical landscapes, and the masterpieces of Geoffrey Bawa, one of Asia’s most influential modern architects.
