The FPD Training Workshop delivers 500+ federal planners and state, local and commercial planners every year who are looking to expand their knowledge and skills, earn AICP Certification Maintenance (CM) credits, and connect with planners, industry, and technical experts to further their knowledge.

The Training Workshop is an exclusive opportunity to reach planning professionals, build company awareness, support the federal planning community, and learn about the challenges faced by Planners in the federal, state, and local government sectors.

This year, FPD Training Workshop will be held immediately after the American Planning Association’s (APA) National Planning Conference 2025 (NPC25) at the Denver Convention Center. APA NPC25 registrants will be offered a special registration rate to FPD Training Workshop to encourage many of the state and local Planners to attend both events.

There are many benefits to participate as a Sponsor at the event:

  • Be among a few companies in an intimate setting to connect and learn from the 500+ Planners in attendance.
  • Sponsors have an opportunity to submit presentations for consideration to speak at the Training Workshop.
  • Meet face-to-face with a highly targeted audience of government and commercial Planners and industry partners, including Planners from these agencies and others:
    • DoD – Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines
    • Civilian and Intel Agencies – GSA, NASA, NSA, Federal Highway Administration, etc.
    • State and Local government
    • Commercial entities
  • Opportunities to build company awareness, generate more booth traffic, and capture leads for efficient follow up, including:
    • Mobile App Scavenger Hunt with attendees having to scan QR codes at participating sponsor booths
    • Lead retrieval to capture attendees’ information that stop by your booth for easy follow up post-event
  • Ample time to meet with attendees during exclusive exhibit hall hours and networking events as well as mobile tours

Companies can select a Sponsor level that aligns with their business development and marketing goals and budget. There are five levels that include a booth and one level that includes sponsoring a networking event.

Sponsorships are now closed for new companies.
