Good to See You in Los Angeles!

At ASLA, a quick hello can turn into a half-hour catch-up. Conversations pick up where they left off, work talk gives way to family news, and familiar faces make a busy conference feel a little like a reunion.

For the Maglin team, ASLA 2026 in Los Angeles was full of those moments. We’re grateful to be part of a profession that brings so much thought, creativity, and care to the places where people gather, connect, and spend time together. Alongside sharing our latest work, we got to do what we love: reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and discover what we have in common with others who care about the future of our shared spaces.

Student Sketch Walk

Before the EXPO opened, Maglin sponsored ASLA’s Student Sketch Walk, bringing landscape architecture students and professionals together to observe and draw.

Team Maglin joined Elizabeth Boults of UC Davis and Group 4 in Santa Monica to explore Tongva Park, designed by James Corner Field Operations. The seven-acre park transformed a former asphalt parking lot into a landscape of rolling landforms, gardens, and pathways, with views toward the Pacific.

We’re proud to support opportunities that bring the profession together and give students and emerging professionals time to learn, experiment, and connect beyond the conference hall.

A Community Worth Celebrating

The night before the EXPO opened, we brought clients and colleagues together for our Nightcap Social at ION Rooftop Patio. It was a chance to slow down before the busy days ahead and spend time with the people behind the projects. In a profession built on collaboration, those moments to reconnect are worth making time for.

“One of the things I appreciate most about landscape architecture is the sense of community,” says Jill Roberts, Maglin’s Director of Growth. “There’s so much thought, creativity, and care behind the places landscape architects bring to life, and it’s a privilege to work alongside people who are so invested in what they do. ASLA gives us a chance to step away from the day-to-day, reconnect, and celebrate that shared passion.”

Come on In, Stay Awhile

That same spirit carried onto the show floor. There were warm hellos, conversations that ran longer than planned, and plenty of catching up between sessions. We loved seeing longtime friends and colleagues again—and meeting people for the first time, hearing what they’re working on, and finding new connections across the profession.

For the first time, we brought the complete 720 Collection together at ASLA, giving visitors a chance to experience the family of pieces in person.

Amid the EXPO buzz, the 720 Double Lounge Chairs and Chaise Lounge offered a quieter place to pause. Visitors stretched out, took a breather, and made themselves at home before heading back into the crowd.

Until Next Time

To everyone who joined us at the Nightcap, took part in the Sketch Walk, stopped by the booth, or made time to say hello: thank you. We’re grateful for the friendships we’ve built, the familiar faces we get to see each year, and the new connections that remind us how much there is to appreciate about this community.

Until next time in Chicago, keep in touch!
