2016 SAFEGROWTH® SUMMIT & SEARCH CONFERENCE
​SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
​​

---

​Following the success of the first SafeGrowth® Summit from last year we are pleased to announce a partnership with AARP in sponsoring two SafeGrowth® Summits in 2016.

This first event is the 2016 Summit in Sacramento, California, March 22-24 where a select group of community representatives will deepen their knowledge of SafeGrowth® and explore the ways of embedding the method in their neighborhoods, specifically regarding housing and habitat. 

The second event will be the 2016 Summit in New Orleans, Louisiana in the fall when the focus will include SafeGrowth® and transportation and mobility in the modern city.

---

This summit will be run over three days in Sacramento, California, USA, between 22nd and 24th March 2016.

Unfortunately this is a limited funding and small scale event and we cannot accommodate everyone. Please let us know if you are interested in attending. We also want to hear from you about steps for moving forward in neighborhood safety. Please contact us with comments and questions.
