**[Pirros](https://www.pirros.com/)**, in partnership with **[AIA Los Angeles](https://www.aialosangeles.org/)**, invites attendees to a special evening at the Getty Center, one of Los Angeles's most iconic works of architecture and a fitting backdrop for an evening built around design. ​The program will feature a private architectural tour of the Getty Center, led by Getty's campus architect Naomi Neville, and a glimpse at Getty's upcoming modernization efforts planned for next year. Perched atop a 110-acre hillside, the campus offers sweeping views across Los Angeles, from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains, and remains one of the city's most studied examples of modern architecture. ​The evening will close with a hosted cocktail reception at The Getty's Trellis Bar, the perfect opportunity to connect with other locals in the industry while taking in the sunset over the city.

​Industry professionals are navigating rapid change, from AI-driven tools reshaping project workflows to shifting expectations around speed, quality, and collaboration across teams. ​This evening will bring attendees together for an informal discussion on where the industry is headed, what's working well for teams today, and where AI can fit into that picture. The conversation will draw on practitioner experience across firms to surface practical takeaways attendees can bring back to their own teams. ​Following the discussion, attendees are invited to stay for a cocktail reception with light bites and the opportunity to connect with peers across the industry.
