Welcome to the VCP Events Page.
We know community revitalization can be a complex process. Every community has its own set of bright spots, challenges, goals, and vision for the future. No single solution is right for everyone. That’s why we at Vibrant Community Partners work hard to benchmark cities and towns across the country, compile best practices, great ideas, along with what worked and what didn’t, and share them via an ongoing series of dynamic conferences, workshops, boot camps and other events. This is truly a community process, whereby we teach, share and learn from each other.
You’ll notice that we like to partner with others (such as Strong Towns) and that all of our events are not just revitalization. Some also focus on leadership, which is a foundational skill for turning a community around.
Please take a look at the series of events below and see which ones best fit your needs. We invite you to check back regularly as we update this page. And please take a moment to share your feedback on these events as well as any ideas you may have for future offerings by emailing us at nicole@quintstuder.com.
We wish you and your entire community good fortune on your journey to revitalization!
