LANI Community Forum
The date for the 2026 LANI Community Forum will be announced in Summer 2025 - stay tuned!
Drawing on LANI’s expertise at building relationships and cultivating conversations among diverse stakeholders, our annual Community Forum brings together neighborhood leaders and activists with experts from city and county departments and agencies, community-based organizations and nonprofits, and the private sector.
What do people say about the LANI Forum?
“We'll be back because you're the best connection to intergovernmental agencies that can actually get things done in Los Angeles.”
“I like coming to the LANI Forum because it attracts real Angelenos who are working to improve their neighborhoods.”
“Really good 'mini-conference'. Glad to be a part of it.”
“You guys did a great job this year and every year you host these events. Thanks, LANI team, for the great work you do!!!”
