Summary - APA Utah Fall Conference 2026. Online registration by Cvent

The American Planning Association Utah Chapter (APA Utah) is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting planners and community leaders. The annual Fall Conference brings this community together for collaboration, learning, and the exchange of ideas that strengthen communities across Utah. The conference is held in a new location along the Wasatch Front each year, providing opportunities to engage with different communities across the region. While the fall conference focuses on planning challenges in urban and high-growth communities, sessions are designed to provide practical insights and takeaways applicable across jurisdictions and community types.

Communities across Utah—particularly along the Wasatch Front—are experiencing continued growth, bringing both opportunity and complexity. This year’s theme explores how thoughtful planning can align land use, water resources, and economic development to support resilient, thriving communities.

Join planners, elected officials, and community leaders from across Utah for two days of learning, connection, and practical insight. The APA Utah Fall Conference offers real-world case studies, actionable strategies, and tools you can bring back to your community. Explore how land use, water, and economic development intersect, while connecting with peers working on similar challenges across the state.
