KeyNote Submission
This curated collection of published or publishable content authored by LAI members showcases our industry’s best thought leadership. Articles and excerpts share a wealth of knowledge — from industry trends and academic research to expert perspectives.
KeyNotes Post Suggestions:
Content for KeyNotes posts consist of land-economics topics and directly relate to a LAI member, chapter, or a global LAI event.
Chapter meeting synopses are perfect for KeyNotes posts as well as articles written by a LAI member or honoring a member.
Personal or business travel that ties in land economics within images and copy are interesting KeyNotes posts.
Peruse past KeyNotes posts for inspiration on crafting a unique post.
Articles of any length are accepted, though long articles may be best broken into a series. Multi-media material such as ppt, charts, video, links to other material, etc. are often integral to substantiating post content.

LAI Welcomes 2026 Executive Committee
January 22, 2026
Happy 2026 to all 2,000 LAI members across our 26 chapters in North America, Europe, and Asia!
Over the past two years, LAI has experienced a period of renewal and growth, and all indications point to 2026 building strongly on that momentum. Please join me in welcoming—and thanking—our incoming slate of Executive Officers, listed below. I look forward to working with each of you and encourage all members to stay engaged through your local chapters and LAI International Committees.
I also encourage everyone to attend one or more of the exciting LAI SemiQ US East Coast Tour: Land Use & History (1776–2026) events, which will take place across all LAI Eastern US Chapters in the coming months. The tour kicks off with the Sarasota, Florida Suncoast Chapter on February 26–27.
