The theme for the 2026 conference is Momentum in Muddy Waters: Planning through Turbulent Times. This year’s theme reflects the importance of maintaining Momentum in planning through times of uncertainty and disruption. By recognizing that we operate in turbulent times, we can situate this work of planners within the context of our current realities: climate change, a national housing crisis, reconciliation, demographic shifts, and global instability. In this context, Momentum is not only about advancing plans and policies, but also about finding the strength to foster resilience, adaptability, and hope for our shared future in muddy waters.
