Attendees can look forward to rigorous academic sessions held at the University of Southern California’s School of Architecture.

Sessions fall under four main tracks:

* Modernism in the Sun

* Late 20th Century Modernism

* Creativity and Collaboration

* Community Adaptation and Repurposing

Additional “Special Topic” sessions cover subjects such as Mobility and Sprawl, Southern California Modernism, and U.S. Embassies. Two conference-wide roundtables give attendees the chance to further engage on topics of Late Modern Advocacy and Digitization/Digital Documentation.
