Impact

Become a catalyst for change.

The team at Strong Towns made our event incredibly easy to organize and execute. They have all the resources you need to host a successful event, from promotional materials, to sample content, to the fact that everyone involved is friendly, knowledgeable, and well-organized.

Chuck brought a unique balance of planning and engineering to our event. For the first time I had a local FDOT engineer approach me and say "Chuck just helped me understand why we need to design streets for people, not cars.

We truly enjoyed meeting Edward Erfurt and you were absolutely right: his presentation was perfect for our audience. Attendees have been raving about it ever since and I credit Edward’s talk with inspiring folks to get (or stay) involved!

We brought Strong Towns to Mt. Pleasant because we knew their message would stimulate several important discussions in our community about our future and we saw that happen throughout our event. In a moment in time where most communities face increasing liabilities and diminishing resources, the ability to take a fresh look at our approaches to growth and infrastructure is critical. This event helped us begin a longer discussion about those approaches moving forward.

Our audience is a mix of local elected officials, municipal planning staff, and those active in the community. Norm's presentation style was energetic and engaging. Although there was a wide range of expertise in the audience, Norm was able to convey the subject to everyone equally. He is a born orator with a mastery of the subject, which made for a memorable evening. To anyone looking to book a professional, thought-provoking, natural presenter, Norm is your guy!
