> PLACEMATTERS06 is just three months away and plans are coming  
> together for an exciting, dynamic and stimulating three days in  
> downtown Denver.
>
> Space is filling up fast and the Early Bird Registration deadline  
> of August 15 is rapidly approaching, so register and make your  
> hotel bookings soon to save up to $60 on registration and secure  
> your place.
>
> Here are some recent developments and reasons to attend:
>
> Keynote Speakers
> We're thrilled to welcome Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper - a local  
> hero of sustainable development - to speak at our October 20 dinner  
> reception at Downtown Denver's Wynkoop Brewing Co. Also, since our  
> last email, keynote speaker and author Pam Houston has published a  
> powerful op-ed in the New York Times about the effects of the  
> current drought on farmers and ranchers in Colorado.
>
> Program
> The program of scheduled sessions and panels for October 19 is in  
> place and online here.
> At any one time, you'll have an opportunity to:
>
> Find out what it means to live, and plan, "on Google Earth;"
> See what's around the curve for growth and demographic change in  
> the new West, and;
> Learn about the latest efforts to certify and drive sustainable  
> planning and development into mainstream markets
> - to name just three of the 15 panels offered. From seasoned  
> planners, developers and civic leaders to young innovators  
> experimenting with new tools and methods, we've assembled a dynamic  
> set of presenters for you to learn from and collaborate with.
>
> Open Space
> You're invited to be part of the solution at PLACEMATTERS06 with  
> our day of "Open Space" sessions on October 20 and the morning of  
> October 21. This is the "unconference" part of the conference where  
> we go deeper and wider on core issues and themes of interest to  
> you. This component is experimental by design and free-form in  
> spirit, intended to capture, elevate and enhance the informal,  
> lively conversations too often relegated to hotel hallways and 15- 
> minute coffee breaks.
> How will Open Space enhance and deepen your experience of  
> PLACEMATTERS06?
>
> Provide a richer, extended opportunity for you and your peers to  
> share learning, get to know each other and cross-pollinate ideas
> Build off the energy of the previous day's "programmed" sessions to  
> go deeper and develop action plans or initiatives around topics of  
> importance
> Model an innovative meeting approach (in combination with tool  
> applications) that you can take back and implement in your  
> organizations and communities
> We invite and strongly encourage you to bring "live" planning  
> challenges into Open Space for your peers, issue area experts and  
> tool providers to help you grapple with. We invite tool providers  
> and specialists to come prepared to showcase tools and applications  
> in action. We invite the spontaneous creation of learning networks  
> among people with shared interests or challenges. Open Space is  
> about distributing expertise and knowledge among peers. It's all  
> about who shows up and what they bring to the table.
>
> We hope you'll plan to join us "at the table" in Denver October  
> 19-21 and invite friends and colleagues to do the same.
