Back to the Business of Landscape Architecture

Join ASLA Connecticut for the first Residential Design Expo since 2019! After a long COVID pause, we are excited to once again offer this full-day continuing education program on Thursday, September 12 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT. "Back to the Business of Landscape Architecture" will focus on helping residential  landscape architectural practitioners and  firms become more successful. Sessions  will cover business management  practices such as starting a firm,  contract writing, and laws and codes  affecting licensure; small business  promotion, including social media and  newer strategies; networking for the  design professional and latest trends in  the industry; career advancement tips  for younger professionals including  how to practice responsibly; and more.  Experts in a variety of fields will share  their knowledge in presentations and  panel discussions. And the day will of  course include Expo segments where  designers will have the opportunity to  visit vendor tables to learn about the  latest residential products and services.
