The conference will build on the first ten highly successful conferences in this series, which collectively brought together an audience of nearly 12,000 people from across the U.S. and several other countries. This conference is unique in that it focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach to implementing smart growth principles to help build safer, healthier, equitable, more economically viable, transit-oriented and pedestrian-friendly communities across the nation.

The main conference 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 over 95 sessions and workshops to choose from. Learn from hundreds of speakers who cross disciplines to share insights, and 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.
