Join us for two days of debate, discussion, bold thinking and creative ideas led by a world-class roster of international speakers.

The greatest value of landscape is the way in which it connects people, place and nature. The LI, in partnership with IFLA Europe and the University of Greenwich Department of Landscape, is holding its 2018 conference on this topic.

• Day one is a day of high-level debate on the value of landscape for those leading the profession, with reference to future trends, urban design and digital developments.
• Day two focuses on landscape policy, planning and management, explored through a packed itinerary of workshops and experiential site visits.

For more detail on the conference including keynotes, panels, site visits, workshops, networking opportunities with content-rich learning, visit the LI website.
