35TH NATIONAL CONVENTION
It gives me enormous pleasure to invite you to the 35th UAP National
Convention. This is the culmination of a five month long preparation. In line with
this year’s program is the theme: "The Power of Architecture – Dream, Create,
and Transform."
We have gathered local and foreign experts as speakers for the plenary
to discuss and address recent issues, topics that are relevant and useful in
our Architectural profession. At these times of uncertainty, events as big as
CONEX and the UAP National Convention are extremely important not just
because of business opportunities but also to expand relationship, networks and
for professional updating. These discussions will help us reflect on how Powerful
Architecture really is.
From a DREAM where all our visions and creative juices flow, we CREATE
innovative designs that come to life right before our very eyes. Suddenly, we
TRANSFORM - seeing how our developments affect its surroundings. This year
we are holding our National convention at the most critical point in global
history but we shall face these challenges and turn these obstacles into
opportunities.
We have also lined up three special night events, first, experience Las
Vegas on our Welcome Dinner sponsored by TotO, a romantic Honor
Dinner and Awards Night with UAP Fellows and highlighting the event is
the Grand Fellowship Night with our mega sponsor Davies Paints. These
events shall feature entertainment from famous artists and dancers and
a rare performance from our very own roster of equally talented UAP
members.
I wish to thank our sponsors
and partners in the industry
for supporting us in this
momentous event as well
as all my colleagues in the
Organizing committee, UAP
National board, UAP National
secretariat who have worked so
hard to make this annual convention
a memorable success
Finally, to all the delegates
and guests, I welcome you all to
the 35th UAP National Convention
and experience the "out-of-the box"
convention.
Mabuhay and heads up Arkitektong Pinoy!
