2026 Black Women in Architecture Network Annual Brunch – Chicago

The 2026 BWA Chicago Host Committee graciously invites you to join us in-person for the 2026 Black Women in Architecture Annual Brunch. The Chicago event will be an in-person brunch where we will enjoy time networking and connecting before tuning in for the national virtual program. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect and build community with other Black Women in the Chicagoland architecture community!

This year’s event will be graciously hosted at Sloan’s beautiful showroom in West Loop. We hope to see you there! 

Please note you will receive a QR code (1-2 days prior to the event) to be used in the building lobby to pass security on the way to elevator bank. Please check your spam/junk folders as the email may have been directed there; it will arrive from a sender address of “no-reply Blubox” 

The Black Women in Architecture Network is a growing group in the architecture profession. The organization is a resource for the over 600 U.S. licensed Black women architects and those aspiring to become architects, and other women in design, planning, and the allied professions to provide a network of support and community.
