Consortium for Scenario Planning 2025 Conference

The Consortium for Scenario Planning invites you to its eighth annual conference at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Deerfield Beach Resort & Spa in Deerfield Beach, Florida, January 29–31, 2025.

In an era marked by extreme weather events, economic instability, and the challenges of post-pandemic living, scenario planning is an essential tool for cities and regions preparing for an uncertain future. The in-person conference is an opportunity to explore cutting-edge advances in the use of scenarios to address local and global trends that shape our communities’ future with leading practitioners, consultants, and academics in the field. Attendees will dive into topics ranging from climate adaptation and urban resilience to economic disparities and housing challenges.

Jennifer Jurado, Broward County’s chief resilience officer and deputy department director, will deliver the keynote presentation on how scenario planning is transforming the region’s approach to compound flooding and other climate risks. Lightning talks and participant-driven unconference sessions will allow attendees to share their projects, collaborate, and hear new perspectives.

Registration closes on January 22, 2025, and is free for students. Conference sessions will be eligible for AICP Certification Maintenance credits.

The event will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Deerfield Beach Resort & Spa. The closest airport is Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International. Book your stay at the conference venue.

Please share this opportunity with your colleagues and contact Madeline Hiller, program assistant, planning practice and scenario planning, at the Lincoln Institute, with questions.
