Annual Meeting Education Session Highlights, Part 1

The 2018 ASLA Annual Meeting and EXPO begins this Friday in Philadelphia! In addition to the events planned for PPN Live, each Professional Practice Network (PPN) leadership team also reviews the annual meeting education program to highlight sessions relevant to their practice areas. With more than 130 courses, allowing attendees to earn up to 24 professional development hours (PDH), it is an extensive program to explore, and you can do so through the meeting website and mobile app by title, speaker, topic area, and PDH type (LA CES/HSW, LA CES/non-HSW, AIA, AICP, CMAA, FL, GBCI CE, GBCI SITES, ISA, NY, etc.).

Below, we run through the first half of these education highlights (stay tuned for sessions picked by ASLA's 10 other PPNs this Thursday):

• Campus Planning & Design
• Children’s Outdoor Environments
• Design-Build
• Digital Technology
• Ecology & Restoration
• Education & Practice
• Environmental Justice
• Healthcare & Therapeutic Design
• Historic Preservation
• Housing & Community Design
