Themed “Action! Design in Motion. Work in Progress,” the ASLA 2026 Conference on Landscape Architecture takes place to Los Angeles, a city that mirrors the very essence of our work: dynamic, layered, unfinished by design. Here, landscape architects restore rivers while trains roll by, transform green schoolyards in dense neighborhoods, and build climate-resilient parks at the edge of rising heat and inequity. It’s a city of contrasts and convergence—where mosaic courtyards meet concrete channels, native plants reclaim industrial corridors, and design pushes against the forces that divide us.
Landscape architecture is not a static profession—it’s rooted in motion, momentum, and meaningful change. Action! is a call to build, to respond, to engage. It’s about showing the work—not as a finished product, but as a process: evolving, collective, alive. Whether through community-led transformations or regional-scale planning, landscape architects are not waiting on the sidelines. Landscape Architects are in the field, in the street, in the soil—designing places that serve both people and planet.
The ASLA 2026 Conference on Landscape Architecture is the largest annual gathering of landscape architecture and allied professionals—all coming together to learn, connect, share knowledge, gain inspiration, and bring value to their practice. The conference offers sessions, professional development, networking opportunities, and a world-class EXPO featuring over 275 vendors showcasing cutting-edge products and services.
The conference is open to all who are passionate about shaping healthier, more resilient, and more beautiful communities. Professionals and students from allied disciplines in design, planning, and environmental sciences—including landscape architects, landscape designers, architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers, educators, researchers, developers, product suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers are invited to attend this interdisciplinary gathering.
