The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) will host its 2026 Conference in Los Angeles, California from September 16–18. The event will bring together more than 6k landscape architects, designers, planners, educators, students, manufacturers and allied professionals for three days. Los Angeles Convention Center will serve as the conference venue.

This year’s theme, “Action!,” highlights the profession’s role in designing resilient, equitable and functional spaces with an emphasis on climate resilience, ecological stewardship and community wellbeing, the ASLA states.

Featured activities will include education sessions and professional development workshops; presentations from practitioners and thought leaders; an EXPO with more than 300 vendors; networking opportunities across design, planning, ecology and related industries; and award celebrations for professionals and students.

ASLA hosts the event and welcomes landscape architects as well as professionals from related disciplines such as architecture, urban planning, ecology, engineering, research, education, development and manufacturing.

Organizers describe the annual conference as a gathering focused on the future of the built and natural environment. Scheduled sessions and exhibits will explore design innovation, sustainability, practice management and strategies for creating healthier and more resilient communities.
