Get Ready for the 2008 MnAPA Conference!

The 2008 Minnesota State Planning Conference will be held September 22nd to September 24th in Duluth.  The conference has grown.  Only four years ago it was out of the ordinary to have over 150 attendees.  This year we had over 300!  Because of the growth, the 2008 conference is being held Monday (22nd) to Wednesday (24th) at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center and the Downtown Waterfront Holiday Inn. 

Co-chairs Holly Butcher and Adam Fulton are gearing up for an exciting conference.  They issued a joint statement, saying "We know the change to a Monday – Wednesday format is unusual, but in fact it offers several benefits.  The dates put the conference slightly earlier in the month, increasing the likelihood of good weather.  Our opportunities are expanded because we will be able to offer additional sessions and more unique tours.  The move also makes it possible for planners to visit Duluth with their families over the weekend prior and then catch a ride back to their home region or city with a co-worker." 

A kickoff meeting will be held in early January to begin planning the details of the conference.  If you are interested in working on the conference (perhaps putting your foot in the door for working on the 2009 national conference) email Holly (holly.butcher@ardc.org) or Adam (afulton@stlouispark.org) to be added to the email list.

Session Proposals can be submitted online at the Planners Conference web site.
