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 Expression of Interest by Wednesday, March 16. We’ll let you know within the following week if your proposal has been accepted.
