The conference opened at 8:30 a.m. on a beautiful and sunny Sunday at Denver's convention center in downtown Denver with a keynote address by Jerome L. Kaufman, FAICP, professor of planning emeritus at the University of Wisconsin. Kaufman discussed the planning profession's direction for the 21st century, and called on the planning community to be more visionary. A day of sessions was followed by the opening reception at the convention center from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. Last year, for the first time, PLANetizen provided daily coverage of the conference with first-hand reports filed by PLANetizen readers at the conference. APA has expanded on this concept, and this year is providing in-depth daily coverage of the conference, at a special conference website. Conference reporting is provided by APA's research and public affairs staff. The link below is to the APA's conference coverage website.
