Social media tools, communications, databases and other technologies
are increasingly being used by planners today in their day-to-day work. Join us for this one-day conversation that
will showcase best practices for how planners are using technology in support
of visualization, stakeholder engagement and project management/implementation.

We’re seeking speakers to participate in the day’s program:

Have a case study or innovation in using social media that you’d like to share
with fellow planners across the Commonwealth?
Or do you have some particular challenges with implementing social media that
you’d like to talk about, as part of a conversation about overcoming
obstacles to using social media?

Submit your
Expressions of Interest by Thursday,
March 3. We’ll let you know
by Tuesday, March 8 if your proposal has been accepted.
