New CNU 33 Content Alert!
Single-Day Local Government Program at CNU 33
Municipal staff and elected officials across the country are an incredible force in the community-building activities we call the practice of the New Urbanism. Each year at our annual Congress, we provide unique opportunities for the local government audience to connect, network, and hear from each other.
New this year, we are designing a full day of programming specific to the needs of local government staff and elected officials that will be held on the first day of the Congress on June 11th. The program will be invite-only and ticketed separately to allow for maximum attendance and learning for those in the region who may not be able to attend the full Congress schedule June 11th-14th.
You can see the full slate of programming here. Tickets are only $100 for a full day of programming and lunch, or only $50 if you're also attending CNU 33!
HOW TO REGISTER:
- The Local Government Day is a separate ticket from CNU 33 registration - but sold through the same system, which can be located at this link, or the button below.
- You can select "Local Government Day Only" for $100 on our registration site, or select a combination of registration + LG day to get a $50 savings.
