This year's conference theme is
Vision Check: Lessons in Hindsight, Planning with Foresight
.
The beginning of a new decade offers an opportunity to take a close look at the planning work we're doing in our communities. The Conference Committee is seeking your ideas for presentations that will provide our conference attendees with an inspirational, interactive and informative program focused on:
- Past planning and community development practices that are "new" again, and lessons from the past that inspire our future work
- Planning norms that are experiencing paradigm shifts, that our communities are recovering from, or that just aren't working as intended
- Big ideas, emerging issues, and trends for the future of planning
- Professional planners and the profession as a whole: who we are, our needs, and how we serve our communities
Whether it's an idea for a session you'd like to offer, or something you'd like to see, we're seeking your ideas! They don't have to be fully formed session proposals (but they can be!).
