This Call for Presentations requests proposals that specifically relate to current and emerging issues, best practices, and challenges that are facing downtowns.
The conference planning committee encourages presentations on topics that you feel will benefit Michigan’s downtowns.
The Michigan Downtown Conference is an annual conference of community leaders involved in downtown revitalization. The conference serves to present case studies and best practices on successful downtown development strategies, and to provide attendees with new ideas for use in their own communities. Our two day, multiple-track format offers a self-directed, facilitated learning environment with educational sessions and panel discussions.
General Guidelines
Individual speakers or a panel may give a presentation at the conference. The committee will select the speakers and determine the conference time slot for each selected presentation. Please consider the method of your presentation
when applying—panel discussions, lectures, case studies, and hands-on sessions.
Presentation Type
Presentations should be in the format of a one and a half hour general or concurrent session. The presentation can be given by a single speaker or by a panel of no more than three speakers.
