CUPERTINO, Calif., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambow Education Holding Ltd. (“Ambow” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AMBO), a global innovator of AI-powered phygital (physical + digital) solutions for education, conferencing and events, today announced that it will host an Open House at the NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego during the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2026 (AIA26), inviting architects, design professionals, and AEC industry leaders to experience HybriU™, Ambow’s patented AI-driven phygital platform, in an active educational and professional environment.
The Open House will take place June 10–13, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST daily, at 600 B St, Suite 800, San Diego, CA 92101, the home of NewSchool of Architecture and Design, located just blocks from the San Diego Convention Center. The event offers AIA26 delegates an opportunity to extend the conference experience beyond the convention center and into a working campus environment.
NewSchool of Architecture and Design, a for-profit institution owned and operated by Ambow, has been a cornerstone of San Diego’s architectural education community since 1980. Its downtown campus provides a natural setting to demonstrate how HybriU™ operates within the exact kind of physical design environment that AEC professionals build, teach, and collaborate in daily. Attendees will observe HybriU™ running in active studio and classroom settings, connecting in-person participants with distributed collaborators in real time through AI-powered interaction, 3D spatial capture, and live knowledge management.
AIA26 brings together the people and firms shaping the $700 billion AEC industry. The conference’s growing focus on AI and digital practice, reflected in sessions including “AI vs. Reality: Trust, Perception & Differentiation in Architectural Communication,” “Supercharging Sustainability With AI & Materials That Matter,” and “Big Firm / Little Firm: Designing Your Tech Stack,” makes this year’s gathering a natural fit for an organization building AI-native phygital infrastructure for exactly these environments.
HybriU™ addresses one of the AEC industry’s most persistent workflow challenges: the inability to maintain design continuity and collaboration quality across distributed teams, remote sites, and hybrid project reviews. Through immersive real-time connectivity, AI-generated content capture, and phygital interaction tools, HybriU™ enables architectural firms, construction teams, and design educators to operate as if every participant is in the same room, regardless of physical location.
NewSchool Professors to Present at AIA26, Showcasing HybriU™’s Impact on Cross-Border Academic Exchange
Professors from the NewSchool of Architecture and Design will present at AIA26, demonstrating how HybriU™ elevates academic exchanges with professors and scholars from Mexico. Powered by HybriU™ Events and WeSpeak™, Ambow’s AI-driven real-time translation platform, the presentation will feature live multilingual interaction and collaborative tools that enable seamless global knowledge sharing across borders.
The presentation reflects HybriU™’s expanding role not only as a classroom infrastructure tool but as a platform for live academic and professional exchange at the international level. WeSpeak™ enables real-time translation across languages during live sessions, removing one of the most persistent barriers to cross-border collaboration in architectural education and professional practice.
Management Commentary
“The AIA26 conference brings together the professionals who design the physical environments in which HybriU™ operates. NewSchool of Architecture and Design is not just a venue for this Open House. It is a working example of what HybriU™ was built to serve: a campus where the boundaries between physical studio space and distributed collaboration are actively being dissolved by our technology. We invite every AIA26 delegate to come see it in person,” said Dr. Jin Huang, CEO and Chair of the Board of Ambow Education Holding Ltd.
“Architecture is a discipline defined by the relationship between physical space and the people who inhabit and shape it. HybriU™ was designed for exactly that relationship. Bringing distributed team members into a shared spatial experience, enabling real-time design review across locations, and capturing the knowledge generated in those interactions are problems every firm in this industry faces. We are hosting this Open House because we believe the best way to explain what HybriU™ does is to show it inside the kind of institution that needs it most,” said James Bartholomew, President of Ambow Education Holding Ltd.
