11th Annual New Partners for Smart Growth Conference

February 2, 2012toFebruary 4, 2012

 

Location: San Diego Sheraton Hotel & Marina (1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA)

After celebrating its 10th anniversary in Charlotte, the New Partners Conference begins its second decade by heading west, back where it started—San Diego, California. 
The eighth-largest city in the United States, San Diego is one of the most livable and sustainable major metropolitan areas in the nation. An innovative pioneer in the smart growth movement, the San Diego region provides inspiring models for creating transit-oriented, compact development; transforming downtowns and ethnically diverse, older neighborhoods; designing walkable, mixed-use urban villages; and fostering the emergence of leading high-tech, telecommunications, and clean-tech businesses.

The program will span three full days with optional pre-conference events scheduled for Wednesday, February 1st and Sunday February 5th. The main program will kick off on Thursday morning, February 2, and continue through Saturday afternoon. The schedule includes a dynamic mix of plenaries, breakouts, implementation workshops, specialized trainings, peer-to-peer learning opportunities, and coordinated networking activities. It will also feature exciting tours of local model projects in and around the San Diego region.

There will be something for everybody, from veteran experts to smart-growth novices, with 100 sessions and workshops to choose from. Learn from hundreds of speakers who cross disciplines to share insights, valuable tools and strategies for making smart growth a success in your community. The program will be infused with sessions and case studies focusing on important equity and environmental justice issues.
