Under the theme Changing Currents, this year's regional gathering brings together planners from MO, KS, IA, and NE to tackle root challenges and discover innovative solutions. Don't wait, Early Bird rates end August 12! Register today.

In collaboration with the Kansas City Section of the American Planning Association and the APA Chapters of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska, we’re coming together for an energizing three-day Quad State Conference in Kansas City. This is a unique opportunity for planners, visionaries, and community-builders from across the region to connect, learn, and shape what’s next.

Together, we’ll explore the forces transforming our communities — from emerging technologies and innovative planning tools to new approaches in sustainability, design, and civic engagement. Expect thought-provoking conversations, hands-on learning, cross-state collaboration, and a few surprises that make this conference truly memorable.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an emerging planner, or someone passionate about creating better communities, you’ll leave inspired, recharged, and ready to bring new ideas back to Nebraska and beyond.
