AT Awards tickets still available!

The AT Awards 2026 are just around the corner and tickets are disappearing fast! We’d love for you to join us for an afternoon celebrating the people, projects and ideas making a difference across architectural technology.

Kicking off at 15:00 on Wednesday 7 October at The Underglobe, London, the AT Awards bring together members, affiliates, students and industry leaders to recognise some of the outstanding work being delivered across the profession.

It is also a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues, meet fellow professionals and enjoy an afternoon away from the day-to-day.

Tickets are available now, and we hope you can join us.
