KEVIN CHU | VERMONT FUTURES PROJECT
Vermont needs more people. More people need Vermont.
The Vermont Futures Project is answering their mission question by developing a statewide economic action plan informed by data. The framework for the plan is built on two fundamental components that define communities: people and places. In order to strengthen Vermont’s economy, scale up our impact on sustainability, and make progress on social equity, the Vermont Futures Project is setting a goal to increase our population to 802,000 people and the non-seasonal housing stock to 350,000 units by 2035. Come learn how these goals were calculated and share your ideas about actions that can be taken at the local and state level towards achieving them.
BROOK KAUFMAN | CEO, VISIT RAPID CITY
Casper, Wyoming, experienced one of nature’s most sensational sites - a total solar eclipse. Visitors from six continents and one-hundred and forty two countries journeyed to Casper to experience the Wyoming Eclipse Festival and this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. The city welcomed scientists, photographers, media and an astounding number of first-time eclipse chasers. It was historic.
In this presentation, you’ll learn how one community embraced the total solar eclipse, garnered significant media coverage, increased destination awareness and welcomed tens of thousands of travelers from around the world without incident. You’ll hear firsthand the challenges, wins, mistakes and overall outcomes and walk away with tactical, tangible ideas for preparing your community for the 2024 eclipse.
