About this Conference

Social media tools, communications, databases and other technologies are increasingly being used by planners today in their day-to-day work. How do we choose among these tools? What barriers are there to their effective use? How do we use the information that's provided in the planning process? In what ways do these tools help – or hinder us – in making our communities great places to live, work and play?

Join us for this one-day conversation that will explore these questions and more!

Sessions feature a range of findings, case studies and best practices for how planners today are using technology for data collection, analysis, project management, and presentation in support of the planning process. The day's program concludes with a facilitated discussion that synthesizes key 'lessons learned' across all sessions and that will be shared with attendees following the conference.
