The call for proposals closed on Thursday December 7th, at 11:59pm ET.

We expect to notify applicants whether or not their proposal has been accepted in early February 2024.

If selected to present, you will be expected to register at a speaker rate to confirm your place in the program. A “pay what you can” scholarship application will be available for speakers to apply to if their proposal is accepted.

Review: Proposals will be evaluated by the Program Review Committee, which will include individuals from participating conference partners as well as outside experts in the field. Acceptance will be based on completeness and quality of the application, presenter expertise, contributions to the placemaking field, and demonstration of the proposal’s focus on equity.
