Hindsight

Dear Hindsight Community,

We have just completed our fifth and final Hindsight Conference: Re-Emergence Re-Imagined! We want to send a very special thank you to all the speakers, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers that made this year’s conference such a success! Recordings are now available for attendees via your Bizzabo event platform.

A Bittersweet Ending

Thank you for being one of the 3,500 participants involved over the last five years! It is a bittersweet ending, but we are so proud of the community we have created and of the shifts in national planning discourse to center equity that we have made! While Hindsight as we know it is retiring, we hope you carry forth and deepen the equity principles behind Hindsight, and apply it to all future conferences, events, and your work in planning and community development. Hindsight started as a idea to create our dream urban planning conference. The magic over the last five years has only been possible with the creativity, sweat, and grit of our DivComm volunteers, mostly Black and brown womxn. We hope this inspires and reminds you that the world we want to live in is possible.

If you are interested in helping to plan next year’s APA New York Metro Chapter Annual Conferences and continue carrying forth these equity principles, please get involved with the chapter through its committees!
