Friends,
This is a conference you don't want to miss... 

With a reputation for bringing together the 'cream of the cream' in the
world of urban liveability and public spaces, there's a fabulous line up
speakers, site visits, roundtables, networking, walking workshops, canoe
and boating trips, bike rides, picnics... and a special reception at
Gracie Mansion.  

As always, we encourage people to participate in teams: park directors
and managers, nonprofits, public officials, designers, funders,
historians, foundations, community leaders, transporation officials,
libraries, business...

Our collaboration with the Central Park Conservancy for their 150
anniversary promises to make this year's conference especially engaging.
