2021 Texas ASLA Conference @ Galveston Island Convention Center
Apr 28 @ 3:00 pm

The 2021 Conference Planning Committee is putting together a conference that will have health and safety measures in place.  American Society of Landscape Architects will have touchless badge registration, chairs in the classrooms will provide safe spacing, and American Society of Landscape Architects are requiring that everyone wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer will be located throughout the convention center and in the exhibit hall.

American Society of Landscape Architects are hopeful that we  will once again be able to come together in Galveston for a few days of education, networking, and advocacy.  In the event that it is determined that it is unsafe to host an in-person conference in April, the chapter leadership and Conference Planning Committee will review alternate dates for 2021 or offer a virtual conference.

Register before March 17, to take advantage of the early bird attendee registration prices.
