This year's theme is: The Way Forward
Local Identity in a Time of Rapid Change
We're excited to share that our 2026 Call for Sessions is NOW OPEN!
We encourage proposals from all planners and all subject matters; we can all learn and grow from one another. Never submitted or presented before? No problem! We encourage both NEW and experienced presenters to propose a session that they think will benefit other planners. A mix of presentation types and time frames, from 15 minutes to one hour, will be included, so there is space for everyone.
Share your successes, challenges, or even a space to commiserate together and think thoughtfully about how to move forward and help communities make progress. This conference is all about US and what makes our work fun, exciting, difficult, meaningful, and rewarding. The review committee looks forward to reviewing your 2026 Colorado Planning Conference proposal!
