In response to recent scheduling changes to this year’s ASLA Conference, which have resulted in several overlapping evening events, BlackLAN is changing the format and location of our 2026 Annual Event.
Rather than hosting our previously planned evening event at the JW Marriott LA LIVE, we are excited to bring the BlackLAN community together for a luncheon on Wednesday, September 16, from 12:30–2:30 PM at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 308.
There is no cost to attend the luncheon; however, advance registration will be required due to space and planning considerations.A registration link and additional event details will be shared soon.
We appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we make this adjustment and look forward to welcoming you to Los Angeles for an afternoon of connection, community, and celebration.
FULL REFUNDS will be provided to all existing ticket holders.

Congratulations to undergraduate awardees Skylar Bates and Charity Roy, and graduate awardee Jaden Davis. Their academic achievements, professional qualifications, and commitment to landscape architecture greatly impressed our selection committee.
We look forward to seeing how Skylar, Charity, and Jaden continue to grow and shape the profession. Please join us in celebrating them!
