The Theme: Rising Together: Innovation and Stewardship for a Changing Southeast
As the Southeast navigates rapid growth, climate change, and shifting urban and ecological landscapes, the need for visionary, inclusive, and regionally responsive solutions has never been greater. "Rising Together" speaks to the power of collective action—municipalities, designers, engineers, ecologists, developers, and community leaders—coming together to shape resilient, future-forward landscapes.
This year’s theme centers on landscape innovation, sustainable infrastructure, and regional collaboration, acknowledging the Southeast’s unique environmental challenges and cultural contexts. From coastal adaptation to equitable green space development, this conference explores how design and stewardship can work hand-in-hand to create lasting positive impact across communities
