REGISTER today for the city-wide Great Neighborhoods – Great Places Neighborhood Conference on Saturday, October 13, 2012 at Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center!
Inspiring Keynote Speaker, 20 Workshops, 100s of Neighborhood Leaders. The 2012 Mayor’s Neighborhood Conference is a wonderful opportunity for neighbors to learn, share and network. We are excited to have Fred Kent, President of Project for Public Spaces (NYC), as our keynote speaker. Fred will talk about the great places – if it is a city or a neighborhood – needs to offer at least 10 things to do or 10 reasons to be there.
Whoa, do you have a favorite/least favorite place? Share with us what are your top favorite and least favorite places in Madison. Tell us why a particular place draws you in or keeps you away. While you’re at it, snap a photo to spotlight the place you have chosen. We’ll choose several neighborhood places to discuss in the workshops. Check the site often to see what others are posting – and remember you can post even if you aren’t attending the conference (but we wish you would join us).
The full-day event is packed full of workshops covering a wide range of topics. Early bird registration: $20 by September 30th. Scholarships are available. We are grateful for the generous contribution from Madison Gas & Electric Company. Questions?
