Online registration for the ASLA 2006 Annual Meeting & EXPO and 43rd IFLA World Congress is now open. This year’s meeting will be held October 6–9 in Minneapolis. Registrants will have access to both IFLA and ASLA events, including more than 96 educational offerings, exciting tours, a large product EXPO, and opportunities to connect with landscape architects from around the world. A preliminary schedule, including education sessions, tours, and general sessions, is now available online.

“One of the duties that I am most looking forward to during my tenure as ASLA President is presiding over this landmark meeting in Minneapolis," says ASLA president Dennis B. Carmichael, FASLA. "This city is one of the richest in landscape architecture history in our country, and I could not have chosen a better spot to hold this gathering of landscape architects from across the globe. The audience and the venue are something that no one having anything to do with landscape architecture can afford to miss.”

About Minneapolis

Minneapolis boasts a variety of outstanding examples of landscape architecture and urban planning, including the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, designed by Quennell Rothschild and Partners, LLP, which also features a garden designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh, FASLA; Peavey Plaza, a visually complex space designed by M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA; Nicollet Mall, the first transit mall in the world to make a downtown street devoted to pedestrians with a transit bus to bring people into it; and many other intriguing urban spaces.

Known as the City of Lakes, Minneapolis is scenically situated on the Mississippi River and embraces more than 22 lakes within the city limits. The city offers something for everyone, including world-class hotels, restaurants, museums, and theaters. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts features paintings and sculpture from Monet to modern, while the Frank Gehry-designed Weisman Art Museum is a shimmering sculpture in itself. The area's largest modern art museum is the Walker Art Center. Next door, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden features the whimsical fountain, Spoonbridge and Cherry, which has become a signature symbol of the city.
