NOMA UNBOUNDED
The convergence of a legacy
Each year 600+ minority architects, urban designers, community activists and design students from across the country come together in fellowship and support for the annual NOMA conference. This year the 46th annual NOMA Conference, NOMA UNBOUNDED – The Convergence make a living day trading crypto of a Legacy, will be held in Chicago, IL. at the historic Palmer House Hotel, October 17th – 20th. With the convenient location we’re exploring a new and exciting “conference without walls” concept which will leverage 2/3 of our standard conference programs outside the confines of the hotel, and utilize nearby firms, organizations, and venues.
I-NOMA welcomes all of our beloved NOMA family and friends to expand, explore and enjoy our beautiful city for the 46th Annual NOMA Conference in Chicago!
