Celebrate
Organized in 1970, The Landscape Architecture Bash (LABash) is a student-led conference for landscape architecture.
Held in North America by a different landscape architecture program each year, the conference brings hundreds of students and professionals together to learn, network, and help shape the future of the profession.
LABash Conference Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
For the 4th time, LABash is hosted by The Ohio State University students from March 11th through 13th, 2026 in Columbus, OH!
Collaborate
Through LABash, we benefit from inspirational lectures and professionals learn from the next generation of students. We learn the culture and history of a city with field sessions and local speakers. We expand upon a network of relationships that took root in 1970 and (thanks to social media) has even reached beyond North America. Then, we have the fortunate opportunity to carry these insights home to inform our studio projects, conversations, and relationships.
To trademark LABash 2026, we invite you to craft a tree for a gallery filled with 1000 Trees from students, academics, and professionals in landscape and allied professions from across North America.
Cross-Pollinate!
At LABash 2026, we'll explore the →cross-pollination between people, place, practice, and profession. We’ll celebrate how landscape architecture truly excels in facing wicked problems. We’ll grow your repertoire of design precedents, dive deeper into the forces that shape our landscape designs, and improve the skills that make our field unique. But, we’ll also look beyond North America and the traditional precedents of our time. We will examine how landscape architecture interacts with other disciplines, how language might impact our perspective on the field, as well as the power we hold outside of the design realm.
