Bridging the Divide: Past, Present, and Future

A Conference on Landscape Architecture

As we think about the way ASLA has changed at our 125th anniversary, it is interesting to think about how we have bridged the divide in the past, today, and will continue to unite communities in the future. Covington is a living example of this bridge, making it the perfect backdrop for us to reflect on the past, learn from today's conversations, and dream about a future.

We invite you to join us at ASLA Kentucky’s annual meeting, Bridging the Divide: Past, Present, and Future as landscape architects, designers, and planners across Kentucky convene to review how the profession unites communities through design. We will explore Covington on foot and bike, learn about how future LA's and their university work bridge current professionals to the future, and how we bridge the divide between ideation and creation.

Additionally, we are excited to announce that Kona Gray, ASLA President Elect, will be joining us as our Keynote speaker. He brings decades of insight on our profession through his work at EDSA as well as a vision of the future of ASLA in his role as President Elect. Please join us in welcoming Kona to Kentucky on Thursday and Friday as we celebrate all things Landscape Architecture.
