Cut/Fill UNConference
What is the Cut/Fill unConference?
It’s Time
We won’t be able to fully understand this moment until it has passed. But right now we are in it. We are all in it.
Can we afford to be stagnant while the world is changing?
What are the challenges and opportunities for the field of Landscape Architecture as we move forward in this unprecedented time of a global pandemic and civil unrest from racial injustices?The purpose of this conference is to help us identify the changes we want to make to our own profession and to take the first steps to do so. COVID-19 knocked our society onto its heels; it made us pause. The attention towards racial injustice has only amplified the need for landscape architects to take an active role in the healing of our society.This online conference will provide space for discussions.You — the participants — get to propose the topics that will be discussed and to set the agenda for reform.
How it works
Cut/Fill is participatory and collaborative; it is an Open Space unConference and you are invited to speak and share, pose questions or ask for input. We will have a trained open space facilitator to make sure we are properly organized.
The agenda will be created live each day by attendees present at the opening of the day. Anyone who wants to host a session that day will announce the topic and choose a space and time. You choose which breakout session to attend.
You'll have plenty of chances to exchange ideas and make new professional connections. You can see the growing list of potential topics here put forth by those who have already registered.
Thursday July 23rd: 11:00 - 5:00 pm EST + Live DJ from Berlin and Post-Event Networking
On Day 1 we will begin with two short panels, set our agenda, and converse.
Friday July 24: 11:00 -3:30 pm EST + Post-Event Networking
On Day 2 we will co-create based on what we discovered on Day 1.
What we discuss and what we build will be up to us — each of us.
On July 23 and 24, let’s talk with each other, think with each other, and respectfully challenge each other’s ideas in order to build upon them.
The years ahead will not be the same as the years behind; let’s be intentional about how we want them to unfold.
This is a conference where we will make important steps towards crafting the path forward for our field.
*Ticket prices vary* We expect up to 9 CEU's to be available

Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
