Join us at the Ohio Chapter ASLA Annual Meeting & Vendor Expo for an inspiring and timely keynote you won’t want to miss. Designing in a Rapidly Changing World brings a powerful perspective on the evolving role of landscape architecture in today’s dynamic social and environmental landscape. Guest speaker Ernest C. Wong, FASLA—Founder and Principal of Site Design Group—will share insights drawn from more than 30 years of practice shaping communities through thoughtful, resilient design. From nationally recognized projects like Pullman National Historical Park, Ping Tom Memorial Park, and the 75th Street Boardwalk to current work including the Obama Presidential Center and the 1901 Project, Wong’s portfolio demonstrates how landscape architecture can bridge scales, balance competing priorities, and deliver meaningful, lasting impact. This lecture explores how designers can respond to constant change without losing sight of stewardship, equity, and long-term value. Wong will highlight the discipline’s unique ability to adapt, innovate, and lead in creating environments that serve both people and the planet. A nationally respected voice and civic leader, Wong brings deep expertise not only from practice, but from his leadership roles across professional, nonprofit, and community organizations.
