We are pleased to announce that the Indiana Chapter of the ASLA is now accepting education session proposals for the 2025 Conference on Landscape Architecture. It will be held Friday, September 5th at Purdue University’s Stewart Center. The Chapter Awards Gala will be the evening prior in West Lafayette.
Theme: This year’s theme is “New Normal: Design in a Changing Environment.” As landscape architects, our profession, the plans we make, spaces we design, and tools we use are impacted by changing climate and social patterns. We invite you to join us at the 2025 INASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture where we will explore strategies for designing landscapes in a changing environment, tour cultural landmarks of West Lafayette, and discuss how both new and historic open spaces must adapt for future conditions.
If you are interested in presenting, participating in a panel, or hosting a workshop or tour, we encourage you to submit a proposal that includes the following details:
