Consortium for Scenario Planning Conference 2027

The conference is held in Los Angeles, California.

The audience includes planning professionals, academics, students, and scenario planning and foresight practitioners.

It is most useful for regional and metropolitan planners, academics and foresight practitioners who already use scenario methods, since the opening plenary covers the Southern California Association of Governments project Connect SoCal Futures and the sessions mix panels with interactive group work. The sponsor list of universities, foundations, and bodies such as the US Geological Survey and The Nature Conservancy points to a research and public-sector crowd, so those seeking product vendors or a large exhibit floor will find little here.

Attendees at planning and policy conferences usually wear business casual, with slacks or skirts and a blazer or collared shirt for sessions. Comfortable walking shoes suit the Los Angeles Metro D line tour, and Los Angeles in late January is mild, so a light layer is enough.
