The Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association (NNECAPA) is pleased to host its 2025 Conference from Monday, November 3rd through Wednesday, November 5th at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland, Maine. We are planning this multi-day conference to provide opportunities for engagement, collaboration, and (re)establishing partnerships with your colleagues, new and old, throughout New England.

Conference Registration is now Open!

Below is the link to the draft conference schedule. The conference committee is still tweaking it a bit but you will note that the session topics are very diverse and timely.
There are several mobile sessions which require you to register for them since there is a limit on the number of attendees and it is on a first come, first serve basis. The primary contact of the mobile session will reach out 2 weeks before the conference with more details.
There is plenty of networking time and designated time to spend with Sponsors and Exhibitors.
Awards luncheon is on Tuesday. Be sure when the time comes, to nominate your colleagues.
Dine out at one of the many restaurants in Portland on Tuesday night. We will have a list of those that are open during Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
The Annual Business meeting will be held Wednesday morning. Find out what is new at NNECAPA.
