Conference 2015

Creating an Uncommon Future

October 06, 2015

2:15pm - 3:00pm

Honorary OPPI Member Dan Burden will provide a keynote address about how we should not only build for people, but with them to energize our plans and create the uncommon future this is necessary for success.  Drawing on his international experience of working with close to 4000 communities, Dan will describe his path to helping communities create uncommon success; weaving together stories and data about the energy of the health movement, the power of placemaking, and the magic of citizen engagement. 

Dan will address how in today’s world, all planning no matter how bold and visionary, lacks sticking power without: creating the common lift among all stakeholders; providing clear and compelling evidence that it will build community and personal health; exhibiting how it will reduce the costs of running a city; and, building social capital.  Participants will leave inspired to create their own uncommon future by following his extraordinary example.
