The 46th Annual NOMA international Conference & Exposition will be hosted by I-NOMA on October 17th - 20th 2018 at the Palmer House Hotel in the heart of Downtown Chicago. 

The conference's theme "UNBOUNDED" will explore a new “conference without walls” concept that expands traditional programs well beyond the confines of a stuffy conference hotel by leveraging nearby organizations, institutions and well known Chicago design firms to host more than ½ of the conference seminars and events. 

I-NOMA will also host the 2018 BARBARA G. LAURIE NOMA ANNUAL STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION which, calls for the development of a carbon neutral mixed-used transit oriented development to be located at the 63rd Street Metra Commuter Rail Station. The proposed facility should create a node of local services connecting the adjacent communities of Woodlawn. 

Stay tuned for more information about schedule and registration.
