Would you like to see international speakers come to Adelaide? Would you purchase tickets to attend an event if we held one in Adelaide?

It has been some time since the Institute flew an international speaker into Adelaide as part of a speaker series. The main reason for this is both simple and challenging. In the past there has not been sufficient support for these events in Adelaide which led to us no longer being included as part of speakers’ tours. Over the last two years a number of members have raised their concerns with me about this. Currently our President is taking this discussion to the National Council from the stand point of member equity.

In the meantime, Gillet Perraudin from peraudinarchitecture has been offered to us if we can get sufficient support from the SA members who will commit to attending an event. Visit Perraudin’s practice website here. Ticket prices vary a little for these events but I would expect them to be between $50 to $100 depending on a member’s category.

The only way we will get this event is if we can generate a sufficient expression of interest from members. So if you’re are willing to support this event and purchase tickets to attend can you please email Kara Growden Quite simply… if we don’t register enough interest we won’t get speakers.

Please spread the word to colleagues to generate as much support as possible so we can see this outstanding architect visit Adelaide in November 2013.
