We are excited to return this spring with our in-person format, continuing the fresh and focused approach introduced last fall.

Confluence: Where Ideas and Practice Meet presents a streamlined agenda designed to provide a more impactful experience.

As our city grows, how can we balance development with the maintenance of healthy soils that support biodiversity, water retention, and sustainability?
