Future Forward: Designing for Legacy

Join us for a powerful closing conversation with trailblazing creatives Barbara Bouza (Executive Director – Live, Work, Play, CannonDesign) and Lance Collins explore how visionary leadership, intentional design, and long-term thinking can shape the future. Together, they’ll reflect on what it means to design not just for the moment—but for lasting impact.

“LA Forever” is a day of powerful ideas, bold design strategies, and visionary voices reimagining how Los Angeles can evolve with resilience, equity, and imagination. Through community-driven design, rapid rehousing, cultural preservation, and future-facing architecture, we ask: How do we rebuild—and reimagine—Los Angeles for the long term?

From lightning-style talks to hands-on activations, installations, and a keynote conversation with Barbara Bouza, this event is for anyone who believes design is essential to LA’s future.
