ABAA/RAiNA 2027 Conference : Call for Abstracts

Deadline for submissions: October 9, 2026

Thank you for your interest in presenting at the first joint ABAA/RAiNA Conference.

For the first time ever, ABAA and RAiNA are partnering to offer an expanded educational event between two associations representing the building enclosure industry. This event will have over 600 attendees with an estimated 36 presentations over two days. We are excited to assemble a strong program for industry stakeholders in the Building Enclosure Industry.

What We’re Looking For: The Conference Committee is seeking educational presentations that advance the building enclosure industry while providing meaningful learning opportunities for attendees.

We welcome proposals in two broad categories:

• Foundational Education: These presentations would be at a foundational level and would appeal to a wide range of stakeholders such as architects, consultants, general contractors/construction managers, sub-trades, and manufacturers that are either beginning their career or having less than 5 years of experience or education.  Abstracts should focus on key learning topics drawn from the job task analysis and knowledge areas of the Certified Air Barrier Specialist (CABS) credential. Submissions must include topic overviews and learning objectives that align with the CABS knowledge criteria

• Technical & Advanced Education: We also encourage submissions covering intermediate and advanced topics that help experienced professionals solve challenges, improve performance and stay current with industry developments.
