Our Summer Celebration

REFRESH is an annual mixer and jovial networking opportunity for design and building professionals, especially younger individuals working to advance their career prospects, to enhance connections across the industry. Held at a different and architecturally exciting location each summer, the event brings together over 200 guests to learn about a stunning newly renovated, reimagined, or brand new project. Guests will learn more about what makes the project special from the designers and builders and mingle at AFO’s second largest annual event of the year.

Events have been held at the 1300 Broadway Building, the re-envisioned former home of The Oregonian; at Albina Yard, a leader in the use of cross-laminated timber; the renovated, historic Meier & Frank Building; the newly refreshed Providence Park stadium; the redesigned Adidas campus; and The Reser, a new center for the arts.
