Conference: Earth USA 2022
Earth USA 2022 is the Eleventh International Conference on Architecture and Construction with Earthen Materials initiated by Adobe in Action.
The formal conference is tentatively being planned to take place from Friday, September 23 to Sunday, September 25, 2022 at the Scottish Rite Center’s Alhambra Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Alternate locations in New Mexico as well as a live/online hybrid event are also being considered depending on how the pandemic develops over the next 6 months.

- Three days of podium presentations and poster sessions on topics related to the current state of architecture and construction with earthen materials.
- Friday evening Speaker Meet & Greet for all conference attendees sponsored by The Earthbuilders’ Guild.
