IACD Annual Global Conference

Sun, 25/07/2010 - 11:00 - Wed, 28/07/2010 - 15:00

Registration is now open for the IACD/CDS conference on the 'The Role of Community in Economic and Disaster Recovery' from July 25-28 2010 in New Orleans

 Years in the making, the Community Development Society and the International Association for Community Development will come together in July 2010 for a joint conference. The conference will offer opportunities for students, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to share experiences, expertise, and/or research findings on innovative strategies to improve the process and practice of community development.

Participants will witness how exciting and innovative community and economic development has played in rebuilding and reconnecting the community.
New Orleans has tested new approaches in CD/ED and has successfully rebuilt businesses and homes using innovative practices which we as community developers can learn from and apply elsewhere.
Conference Highlights

  • Look forward to topics such as innovative community development approaches, financing methods, building community capital, leadership development, sustainability and much more. Expect roughly 100 presenters from all over the world;
  • Select among the opportunities for community and economic development specialists in both the U.S. and abroad to spend several days in an exciting city that is undergoing redevelopment;
  • Experience a day lending your hands to Habitat for Humanity and share in the fulfillment of building something together;
  • Choose from several exciting Mobile Learning Workshops: Redevelopment of the Lower Ninth Ward/St. Bernard Parish; Local Arts Tour (features redevelopment of the art community since Katrina); Ground Zero Development; A Tour of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and more.

This conference promises to be one of the most educational and interesting events this year. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your experiences and learn from others.
