Future Now: Discussion/Teaching Guide
In June 2026, LAF’s Future Now: Taking Action for People + Planet by Design summit brought together the landscape architecture community to share ideas and tools, scale actions, and deepen our resolve to shape the future we want to see despite the mounting challenges. Over the course of two days encompassing lightning talks, keynote speakers, workshops, and panels, this convening affirmed the power of collective leadership and collaboration to drive meaningful change.
The Future Now summit recordings offer an accessible way to revisit the ideas and conversations. Whether you're looking to stay engaged with current issues and emerging perspectives in the profession, explore new approaches to practice, or consider how you can show up and take action in this moment, the recordings provide an opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect.
The discussion/teaching guide is designed to help extend that experience beyond the summit. It offers prompts and suggestions for using the recordings as professional development and team-building activities, classroom assignments, or opportunities for individual reflection. Use it to spark conversation, challenge assumptions, and translate the ideas shared at the Future Now summit into continued learning and action.
