At this year's conference, you will hear top developers and consultants share their experiences on sustainable development; making higher densities work; dealing with NIMBYism; new kinds of resort communities; and sales strategies for today's markets.

Program includes
- What's New in Master-Planned Communities
- Implementing Sustainability: Developer's Panel
Join this panel of industry leaders as they open the discussion with an overview of where the master-planned community business is headed. Hear how today's best developers are addressing the challenges of today and what they think lies ahead for tomorrow.
- I. Staying Relevant: Developing MPCs for Changing Demographics
Market research shows that aging households are less interested in the traditional MPC lifestyle. Generations X & Y have also expressed disinterest. As a result, some successful new MPCs have remixed the formula. They've built higher density neighborhoods that appeal to empty nesters, created town centers and other "third places" that are the new preferred amenities, and developed the kinds of communities that will hold the interest of discerning and growing demographic niches. Join this panel to hear how projects can address these important markets.
- II. Dollars and Sense of Sustainability
Sustainable development has gone from fringe to mainstream, and for good reason. The public demands it, regulators prefer it, and developers profit from it. Learn about the eco-friendly development techniques that make your community more sustainable while enhancing your bottom line.
- KeyNote: Nature Defict with Richard Louv
Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, speaks about the transformation in the relationship between children and nature—how society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature. He also describes the new body of scientific evidence demonstrating how important direct contact with the outdoors is to healthy child development and offers practical suggestions for action.
- III. Village and Town Centers: The Right Scale for Your Project
Town centers are community focal points, gathering places that invite casual shopping, outdoor dining, lingering over coffee, enjoying a concert in the park and visiting a bookstore. Everyone wants one, but there are problems involved in bringing centers to MPCs. Learn how to determine the appropriate scale, and how to find the right mix of residential, retail, and office. Hitting specific economic thresholds is vital. The focus should always be on creating the best community, while never losing sight of the cost of land, hard costs, and the income potential. Join this panel to see up-and-running examples of town and village centers that work.
- IV. The Risks and Rewards of Infill and Redevelopment
Why are some developers looking to smaller, closer-in, "difficult" infill and redevelopment sites? Learn about the complexities of brownfields, the minefields of approvals, and the pitfalls of creating new communities surrounded by existing development. Find out why, despite the challenges involved, it might be worth the effort to seek out overlooked infill sites and recycle them into new communities.
- V. Marketing Know-How
How can your marketing efforts improve your market share this year and beyond? What new tools are available and what works in today's increasingly competitive marketplace? Learn from this panel of top real estate marketing experts about where you should be headed, what you should spend your marketing dollars on, and why.
- VI. Amenities for Tomorrow: Embracing Market Trends to Gain a Competitive Edge
Demographics, psychographics, baby boomers, echo boomers—it's a new era in master-planned community development. Amenities are often the deciding factor when people are choosing their next home. Several major market forces are converging within the United States, which will affect future communities and amenity programming. Learn about these trends and how they will influence consumer preference and developer decision-making.
- VII. Arista Case Study: Creating Value for Transit-Oriented and Mixed-Use Projects
Developers are responding to zoning boards and market demand for pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented developments that mix multiple types of housing with commercial uses. One example of this kind of development is Arista, a 200-acre mixed-use, transit-oriented development in Broomfield, Colorado. The project will include high density residential, retail, office, entertainment and hotel uses, all connected with a strong overlay of open space. This session brings together representatives from the development team and the city to discuss the hows, whys, and wheres of this project.
- MPC Financing: What Works, What Doesn't
Join this informative discussion on MPC financing and delve into such issues as equity and debt structures, financing infrastructure, developer/builder financial structuring, and financing commercial development in your MPC. This panel of seasoned developers and practitioners will take an in-depth look at transactions that have worked, structures to emulate, and those to avoid.
