Curious about the call for Professional Practice Network (PPN) leadership volunteers, but want to know more before you sign up?

If you’re heading to the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, then you are in luck—Practice Basecamp on the EXPO floor is an ideal spot to see the PPNs in action and get a sense of what these practice area-focused groups for ASLA members are all about.

Practice Basecamp is the EXPO’s hub for a range of practice-focused programming, including:

• Engaging campfire sessions organized by ASLA’s Professional Practice Networks (PPNs)
• Fast-paced Game Changer presentations  
• Presentations from ASLA’s Climate Action Committee

Many of these events are designed to be opportunities to meet and network with other ASLA members and conference attendees. The PPN-organized campfire sessions, for instance, will be conversation-focused, allowing for peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-sharing—which is what the PPNs are all about!
