The prestigious World Architecture Festival (WAF), will take place from the 12-14 November 2025 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Since its launch in 2008, WAF has taken place in various locations across Europe and Asia and attracts an audience of nearly 2000 senior architects and designers each year, including delegates from North and South America.

We're thrilled to announce WAF's inaugural US event! The decision to host WAF in the US reflects our commitment to making our awards programme truly global, as well as recognizing the huge influence North American architecture has on the world.

Why WAF?

WAF is not a typical trade show. Due to the unique live-judged awards programme WAF attracts the most active and inspirational architects from across the globe. Senior architects present their projects live during the Festival and are critiqued by their peers. We complement the awards with a talks programme, a product exhibition and a fringe programme of building tours, networking dinners and celebration receptions to create a truly unique three days.

WAF offers unparalleled access to practice owners, partners and principals of the worlds most influential practices in an exceptional setting.
