@ the ASLA Conference, Washington DC
We just finished another ASLA conference, this one in Washington, DC. It was a year for truly mixed signals – at least from our perspective. We were really looking forward to this year’s conference. The Mid-Atlantic/Washington DC market has been a very good one for us, and we anticipated that there would be a lot of landscape architects there. We feel like the worst of the construction recession is behind us, and expected that would be the case with the visitors to the show.
It didn’t really seem to be the case. We certainly can’t claim that our experience was the same as the other vendors at the show, or that we spoke to a representative sample of visitors. That being said, we’ve done an awful lot of these conferences over the years, and this one definitely had a “mediocre” feel to it.
We’ve pulled together a full laundry-list of observations after the jump…
