2025 Speaker Series: Doubling Down In Times of Uncertainty

Presented by Sacramento Valley Section APA and Caltrans

In an era defined by unprecedented challenges – from shifting political landscapes and climate-driven disasters to housing crises and technological disruption – we as planning, design, and community development professionals find ourselves at the intersection of mounting pressures and uncertainty. Yet it’s precisely during these uncertain times that we need to double down on our commitment to our work and building resilient and equitable communities. This Speaker Series will bring together diverse voices from across disciplines and industries to explore how we can transform these challenges into opportunities for positive change. Join us as we share our stories and innovative solutions that are helping communities thrive in the face of uncertainty and discover how we can work together, and be leaders to create meaningful and lasting change in the places we serve.

All sessions will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Please check in prior to 9:30 a.m.

Join us for networking after each session from 11:30 a.m. to Noon
