Three+Alternative+Ideas

Here are three alternative ideas for the conferences that might be easier to plan and maintain annually

Each conference would be a State of the Practice and focus on engagement in a different topical area

For example: Conference A could be "State of the Practice: Urban Planning" Conference B could be "State of the Practice: Natural Resources/Environment" Conference C could be "State of the Practice: Health"

We would look for presentations within these subject areas that highlight
 * New and emerging techniques
 * Innovations
 * Approaches for "difficult" public engagement
 * Current hot topics

Each year the presentations and information presented would remain the same, although the content would shift since the practice and context will change
