For Attendees

Attendee Information

The Federal Planning Division (FPD) is a worldwide network of planning professionals dedicated to protecting and enhancing federal properties while improving the quality of life for persons who live, work, and use federal lands and facilities. The FPD Annual Training Workshop offers invaluable learning, networking, and professional development opportunities for planners at U. S. federal agencies, state agencies who foster relationships with and do business with federal agencies, contractors, and students. But it’s not just about attending – it’s about actively contributing and shaping the future of federal planning.

More than 500 Planners are expected again this year who are there to earn AICP Certification Maintenance (CM) credits, continue their professional development, connect with planning peers working across diverse federal agencies and other organizations worldwide, and learn about solutions and services from sponsor companies.

The sessions will not be recorded this year, so planners must attend in person to earn AICP CM credits. More than 60 sessions will be offered, including sessions covering hot topics and trends, technologies, and sessions focused for planners from every federal agency, including DoD agencies, GSA, NASA, CDC, Federal Highway Administration, and many others.

View the full schedule with session and speaker details.
