“Strong Towns” and the public narrative (storytelling) coming to Lake Worth Beach on Wednesday, June 26th.


To get registered for this seminar at the Casino and Beach Complex including ticket prices, guest speakers and list of sponsors, all that information is later in this blog post today. This all-day event (7:45 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) will include breakfast and lunch and FREE parking is also available.

This event is called “Planning Challenges 2019: City Stories” organized by the Palm Beach County Planning Congress (PBCPC).

Excited to announce Daniel Herriges — a long-time contributor and content manager for Strong Towns — will be the keynote speaker at this event in Lake Worth Beach.


Strong Towns is “a nonpartisan organization where strong citizens from across the political spectrum can gather around the common goal of making the Strong Towns approach real in more places. We consistently find that our movement is uniquely politically diverse, and our readership consists of people identifying as broadly liberal, conservative, moderate, and everything in between.”

At this event on Wednesday the Palm Beach County Planning Congress will have master storytellers and a wide-ranging group of well-known planners and other professionals, community members and leaders including keynote storyteller Daniel Herriges from Strong Towns; the luncheon keynote storyteller will be Tony Garcia with Street Plans Collaborative; will hear stories by Caren Neile from the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies at FAU and others throughout the day ending with a “Sidewalk Talk” along the Lake Worth Beach seawall.
