This November's conference featured two continue the conversations and twelve campfire sessions organized by ASLA’s Professional Practice Networks. These participant-focused events were opportunities to meet and network with other ASLA members and conference attendees, allowing for peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-sharing. For conference highlights from the PPNs, see The Field.
