Registration Now Open — 17th Annual New Partners for Smart Growth Conference

Registration is now open for the NEW LOOK 17^th Annual New Partners for Smart Growth: Practical Tools and Innovative Strategies for Creating Great Communities Conference. For the first time ever, this dynamic event will be held February 1-3, 2018 in San Francisco, CA. Early-bird rates are available now through November 29^th.

Inspiration and Implementation
This year, the conference program will focus on “inspiration and implementation,” and will feature eight focused thematic tracks, and will provide participants with an opportunity for a more dynamic, hands-on learning experience. Each track will focus on a set of topics strongly connected to timely community issues or challenges, with smart growth as the thread woven between and throughout each track.

The 2018 program will allow participants to go deeper into a topic, while continuing to connect back to broader placemaking efforts with a multidisciplinary group of partners tackling community challenges. Each track will be designed to create a multidisciplinary “peer cohort” of practitioners that leave with an implementation strategy and new models, tools, and financing strategies to achieve their community goals. This year’s tracks are:

• Adapting to a Changing Climate
• Creating Housing for Everyone
• “One Water” for Resilient Communities
• Inclusive Prosperity of People and Place
• Planning and Designing Smart Growth Communities
• Building Capacity in Small Towns and Rural Communities
• Improving Transportation Accessibility and Connectivity
• Designing Healthy Communities

Participants, as always, will be able to attend sessions across tracks. Additionally, coordinated keynotes and networking activities will be included throughout the program to ensure that participants are learning and networking with a broad, multi-disciplinary national audience. Exciting tours of local model projects and Parklets 6.0 will again round out the program.
