It might be cold and dark outside, but that isn’t going to slow us down! Okay, we’ll slow down a little. Seasonal depression is real and home is just so cozy! So how do you beat that gravitational pull to hunker down when you live in the global north where we have shorter hours of sunlight and colder temps 4 or more months of the year?The APA-IL Chicago Metro Section (APA-CMS) hosted a Winter Cities Conference in February 2020 (aka the last session before lockdown), and we are excited to rekindle this subject and invite you to participate!
This year, we have a new take on the theme. Instead of a line-up of expert presenters, we’re inviting YOU to be the experts and share your ideas -- How could we transform a better, more livable cold weather Chicagoland?
The Presentations (due by March 11)
This will be a pecha kucha style presentation. Each presenter will have 20 slides x 20 seconds each to share their insights on a subject related to winter cities. This can be a personal observation or practices, professional tips from your community, or something else creative - it’s in your mittened hands. Ideas might include: lighting up the long nights; mobility in snowy months; supporting small businesses between holidays and festival days; or favorite winter walks in the Forest Preserve.
