Join us for an insightful and dynamic conversation about what’s keeping many of Ohio’s planners and economic developers up at night: the rapid pace of change resulting from exciting new projects as well as disruptive technologies, and how communities can best position themselves to promote vibrant communities across the state by fostering community leadership and “cultures of planning” locally and regionally.
This moderated discussion will feature APA Ohio Executive Director Christine Dersi Davis and OEDA President and CEO David Zak, with topics of conversation ranging from how communities are handling the seismic changes resulting from regional economic development megaproject wins, as well as how practitioners are leveraging new technologies such as AI and digital twins for forecasting and scenario planning.
Whether you’re a planner, economic developer, or community leader, this webinar will offer practical insights to bridge disciplines and identify areas of strategic alignment that will promote impactful outcomes for your community. Don’t miss this opportunity to build stronger partnerships and unlock your community’s potential!
