This year the EPP Conference will be organized to focus on four major themes. These themes include:

1. Collaborative Leadership and Institutional Change
2. Collaborative Leadership and Deliberative Democracy
3. Examining the Nature of Our Practice
4. Integrating Collaborative Leadership and Practice

Each theme will be introduced to the participants-at-large by a keynote speaker or invited panel. We will develop these themes in concurrent breakout sessions following each panel or keynote presentation.

Hotel rooms are available for only $109 per night. The hotels are several miles from the campus and shuttles will be provided as needed.

There will be a field trip to the Everglades and other points of interest to examine efforts to manage South Florida’s natural systems and the role of collaborative processes in that management. The field trip would be scheduled for Saturday afternoon. To express an interest, email Lisa Fowler of the Florida Conflict Resolution Consortium at .
