Thank you for attending CNU 33 New England at Providence. We hope you enjoyed the content, social events, and getting to explore the city - and region - on foot, bus, and bike.
In an effort to advance the impact of our annual Congress and to distribute new resources, education, and training to expand the capacity of our membership to accelerate change, we are working to provide a number of post-Congress resources.
This year, we are providing three key resources:
- An online Program Booklet;
- Session slides and handouts (available to attendees only at this time); and
- Recordings of our Main Stage presentations and other key sessions.
More detail on all three of these resources, along with instructions for how to access them, can be found below.
Program Booklet
All content at CNU 33 - including Tours, Local Government Day, New Urbanism Outreach Day, and CNU 33 Sessions - can now be found in our our online CNU 33 Program Booklet. Information includes session descriptions, speakers, and CEU's for the entire Congress schedule and will serve as an invaluable resource to attendees.
