Do you Want to Learn from Some of the Strongest Towns in America?

Note: The National Strong Towns Conference and Celebration has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. When the conference is rescheduled, we will let everyone know the new dates. To stay up to date, make sure to subscribe to the Strong Towns email list.


One of the most common questions we get at Strong Towns is “What exactly does a strong town look like?” We created our annual Strongest Town Contest to showcase some fantastic examples from across the continent. And now we have a unique opportunity for you learn from these strong towns up close…

We’re pleased to announce the first National Strong Towns Conference and Celebration.

Join us and Vibrant Community Partners in Pensacola, Florida (winners of the 2019 Strongest Town Contest). At this event, Chuck Marohn (founder and president of Strong Towns) and Quint Studer (founder of Vibrant Community Partners) will share insights and best practices from America’s most up-and-coming cities—and help you forge a path forward. They’ll also be joined by representatives from some previous Strongest Town Contest finalists, and the event will culminate with an awarding of the 2020 Strongest Town.

Attendees will leave this conference with:

  • Positive solutions around their most pressing problems,

  • New ways to think about resources in their communities,

  • Ideas for better collaboration with stakeholders, and

  • Tactics for dealing with resistance.

We’ll focus on alignment, execution, and inspiration. Be with and learn from others who are doing it and seeing success!

Key takeaways you don’t want to miss:

  1. Opportunities to share and learn. What is your community doing well? What can you learn from others?

  2. An inside view of best practices from Strongest Town winners and runners-up. 

  3. Tools and techniques to take back to your community and put into practice. 

  4. Fresh insights from current Strong Towns research and findings.

  5. A path to help you move from planning to execution.

  6. A chance to build your social capital and connect to other likeminded people.

Tickets for this unique event are currently being offered at a discounted early bird price of $200. Pricing includes admission to the conference, a copy of Chuck’s and Quint’s books, and your ticket to a Blue Wahoos baseball game which is part of the event festivities.
