LANDSCAPE 2022

Inspiration overload at LANDSCAPE 2022!

Join thousands of design professionals as they talk, meet, learn, educate, inform, share, debate and connect at LANDSCAPE in Hall 3 at the NEC in Birmingham on the 28th and 29th September 2022

LANDSCAPE looks to continue the success with a brand-new seminar programme. Taking a much more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach, you can enjoy topics ranging from The Future Design Business, Arboricultural Biodiversity, Getting Going on Green Roofing and How the Landscape Sector can Play Their Part in Nature’s Recovery.

Over the two days visitors can enjoy two different seminar programmes, over 48 seminars and 100 top industry professionals sharing their thoughts and experience on the leading topics of 2022. The seminars will inspire, educate and connect people to new ideas and solutions to take towards future projects. There is no better place to network with professionals at the top of their game.

For the 2022 event, LANDSCAPE will be introducing some brand-new features including a Graduate Showcase by London College of Garden Design. Director, Andrew Fisher Tomlin is working closely with the team at LANDSCAPE to

help showcase some of the many talented designers that are entering the industry this year and the ones to watch!

Back again at the central bar LANDSCAPE will be playing host to a series of Meet the Designer opportunities. If you have questions to ask, now is the chance to ask garden designers directly. Run in conjunction with the SGD – Society of Garden Designers, visitors will have the freedom to be part of the conversation and talk to high profile designers about their work and working life.

Also at the central bar area, LANDSCAPE will be hosting their incredibly popular PechaKucha 20x20 on the afternoon of Day 1 on Wednesday the 28th September. The word “PechaKucha” is Japanese for “chit chat” - it’s a storytelling platform that celebrates people, passion, and creative thought. The perfect format for speakers to share ideas and connect with others visually, concisely and memorably. The PechaKucha 20x20 presentation style is a slide show of 20 images, each auto-advancing after 20 seconds. It’s non-stop and speakers have got just 400 seconds to tell their story, with visuals guiding the way. In a very informal setting you can get an insight into the worlds of 5 Landscape Architects and the things that make them go “wow!”. Held at the central bar, it’s the perfect way to finish off a day of learning with some insight, inspiration and a free drink!

Their highly anticipated design competition is focused this year on Wildlife Friendly designs and is being run in conjunction with the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust. Ian Jelley, Director of Living Landscapes, will be a guest judge and also sharing his knowledge on “How the Landscape Sector can Play Their Part in Nature’s Recovery”. Shortlisted designs will be displayed during the show, with the winner announced on the first day of the event.

LANDSCAPE’s Women in the Industry Day was so well received in 2021 that it’s back again, bigger and better than before, plus it’s all free to attend! Join ladies from all aspects of the industry as they come together on the 29th September in Hall 3 at the NEC Birmingham, to support, talk, share and celebrate their achievements and continued drive to

push forward. Start off Day 2 of the Show at the Women in the Industry networking morning at 10.15am, run proudly in conjunction with #Yes She Can! Enjoy a coffee and a catch up as you network and listen to shared stories from others championing diversity throughout all areas of the industry.

Alongside the much-loved educational seminar programme, LANDSCAPE provides a platform for over hundreds of exhibitors to showcase their cutting-edge products, technology and solutions for the design, build and management of exterior and interior landscaping projects. There will be thousands of products on display for you to find what you need to bring your project to the next level. LANDSCAPE is proud to say that 86% of visitors are very likely to recommend and use an exhibitor for a future project, and the exhibitor list continues to go from strength to strength. The extensive exhibitor list ensures that when they say that there is “something for everyone”, they really do mean it!

The networking morning will be followed by a full day of interviews led by #Yes She Can and leading women from different specialties. With so many amazing career opportunities in the landscaping industry, come and listen to inspirational women as they talk about their experiences, how they push forward in their respective fields and what they hope for the future.

Last year LANDSCAPE’s Women in the Industry day hosted the launch of Women in Natural Stone. Member Claire Wallbridge said “Women are integral to a progressive and successful development of talent within our sector and The LANDSCAPE Show was instrumental in the founding of WINS, promoting the incredible wealth of expertise women bring.”
