This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.

CONNECT. ENGAGE. EXCEL. This is a different event, unlike any you've attended

Built on meaningful interactions and genuine connections, the Forum is the premiere gathering for preeminent leaders in the land use planning field.

"The Forum format provides a unique opportunity for both public and private sector professionals in the field to brainstorm the issues of the day freely. The frank discussion and spirited exchange of ideas is invaluable."

"In daily practice, we are necessarily focused on project needs and don't often get a chance to reflect on the bigger picture. The Forum provides a refreshing opportunity to hear multiple perspectives from the industry on issues we are all dealing with. The Forum is based on active discussion as opposed to passive receipt of information, making it stand out from other professional development opportunities."
