There are plenty of good reasons to go to a Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit:

• It is one of the largest and most diverse gatherings of ‘creative placemakers’ – people from any profession who want to make places better through arts and local cultural activities. (What does ‘better’ mean? That’s up to you and your community.)
• You’ve got a great chance of enjoying yourself, learning a lot, or making good connections.  More than 90% of people surveyed since we began Leadership Summits in 2014 said they did.
• We limit our regional Summits to 400 people, so you have a better chance of making connections with people that you’ll want to keep in touch with after the Summit.
• You can learn practical skills in our workshops, share your insights in peer exchanges, and find out what’s new in seminars.
• There’s plenty of time for networking (or decompressing, if you’re not into networking. But it’s good networking.)
• If you’re not an arts person, don’t worry. There won’t be a lot of weird stuff. Maybe a little, but only good weird.
• Whether you’re new to creative placemaking or have been doing it since before it was cool, you can get a lot out of the Summit.
• Grantmakers will be there. (Just sayin’…)
• It’s enjoyable.  And not in that “manufactured fun” kind of way you see at some events.  There’s a good spirit at all our Summits that is just hard to define in writing.
