AI+RE 2026 Summit Apply for a seat
For members of AIA Florida Southwest

AI in an architecture studio, run live. One afternoon in Naples.

MHK Architecture & Planning works its own AI design workflow in front of the room. The City of Naples building department says what AI-assisted work looks like when it reaches the permit counter. Builders, developers and architects from Southwest Florida report what they put into production, what it cost and what broke.

The two sessions architects ask about

The studio, and the permit counter.

With Enrique Gomez: what MHK runs today in design and visualization, demonstrated live rather than described.

The view from the permit counter: what actually reaches the city, and what it does to review times.

Building Inspector and Building Plans Examiner
City of Naples

With Stephen Beckman, from the inspection and plans-examination side of the counter.

The rest of the afternoon: builders and contractors on what went into production, and a live build on a real Naples problem. Full program


Continuing education

Said plainly.

AI+RE is not an AIA CES provider and does not award learning units. Every attendee receives a certificate of attendance listing the sessions, their times and their learning objectives, for members who self-report.


How it works

Four steps.

One

Apply

The short form above. A minute at most, and no payment at this stage.

Two

We read it

As it arrives, not in a batch at the end. We are seating a room, so the mix of trades matters as much as the individual.

Three

You hear back either way

If the room is full in your category, we say so rather than leave you waiting.

Four

Confirm the seat

$200, through the Greater Naples Chamber. The link comes once the seat is yours, with venue details, parking and the final run of show.

One minute, no payment now

Or ask first

If you would rather talk before applying, or want to bring more than one person from your firm, write or call.
