2012 North Carolina Planning Conference
September 26 - 28

“Re-Imagine Planning: Regional Thinking, Local Placemaking"

Wilmington Convention Center - Wilmington, NC

We couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming 2012 North Carolina Planning Conference in North Carolina’s “Port City,” Wilmington! This charming coastal town is bordered by the Cape Fear River to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Wilmington’s historic downtown river district is the site of this year’s conference and includes a beautiful riverwalk that connects the convention center, conference hotels, and numerous shops and restaurants - making it a perfect landscape that will inspire attendees and empower them with fresh ideas to take back to their communities.

The conference is scheduled to take place in Wilmington from September 26- 28 at the Wilmington Convention Center. This year’s conference is focused on the theme: “Re-Imagine Planning: Regional Thinking, Local Placemaking.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to gain information and insight from presenters in the following session tracks; Environment, Healthy Living/Food Systems, Historic Preservation, Military Planning, and Regional Planning. The Conference will feature 32 concurrent sessions, networking opportunities, vendor displays, and mobile tours of Wilmington by foot, kayak, and bicycle! The Conference will kick-off with an opening reception Wednesday night followed by Thursday morning’s plenary opening session that will feature a keynote address by Chuck Flink, President of Alta/Greenways. Mr. Flink is a leading greenway’s planner and has completed comprehensive greenway and open space plans for more than 225 communities. The Conference will wrap-up Friday morning with an interactive ethics session and an exciting closing session.

So please join us for what promises to be a dynamic, informative and fun conference!
