Call for Sessions: Help shape the 2017 New Jersey Planning Conference

September 28, 2016

The deadline to submit is Friday, October 28.

The American Planning Association – New Jersey Chapter is pleased to announce our Call for Session Proposals for the 2017 New Jersey Planning Conference which will be held on January 26-27 at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick.  This two-day event has grown significantly over the past several years with over 45 workshops that attract 700 attendees representing a vast array of fields including land use professionals, private practitioners, attorneys, issue advocates, municipal officials and citizens that are interested in maintaining and improving a high quality of life for the residents of our great state.

Inspire your colleagues in the land use community and beyond with proposals that explore the most recent best practices and ideas currently facing New Jersey and our region.  Try to avoid having all the speakers from the same firm or agency, and try to include a mix of public-sector, private-sector, and academic presenters.
