2026 APA Quad State Conference
Changing Currents: Shaping Tomorrow’s Communities is coming, and you’re invited to join the thinkers, doers, dreamers, and community‑builders who are redefining what’s possible.
The Kansas City Section of the American Planning Association is making waves, and you’re invited to be part of the momentum. In partnership with the APA Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska Chapters, we’re bringing a quad state conference to Kansas City for an energizing three‑day gathering of planners, visionaries, and community‑builders.
This conference will dive into the forces reshaping our neighborhoods, workplaces, and shared spaces. From bold new technologies to fresh approaches in sustainability, design, and civic engagement. Expect lively conversations, hands‑on sessions, spontaneous collaborations, and a few delightful surprises along the way.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader, an emerging innovator, or simply someone who cares about the future of your community; you’ll leave energized, inspired, and ready to make waves of your own.
