MAP is pleased to host its 2024 Spring Conference at The Pub at Baxter Brewing in Lewiston!
This year’s MAP Spring Conference will be a great opportunity to catch up on some of the important planning activities happening in our State – a mix of professional development and planning policy topics – as well as utilizing conference networking opportunities to catch up with planners around the state. From state planning policy and law to climate change, to zoning, to new redevelopment & planning programs, we’ll spend the day touching on some of the work that’s being done at the state, regional and local levels – not to mention our annual awards presentation to recognize great people and projects in Maine Planning!
There’s a lot happening these days in the realm of Maine Planning, join your fellow planners in getting up to speed and connecting with colleagues!
Early registration is $55 for members, $70 for nonmembers, and $35 for retirees and students. After May 3, registration will increase to $65 for members and $80 for nonmembers. Registration closes on May 8.
