The theme for the 2025 conference is Building - Idea Building Social Building Physical Building. The term “Planning” is often associated with “Building”. From the municipalities and organizations that provide planning services to the job descriptions of planners, “Building” represents the multi-faceted approach of our work to build the communities of today and tomorrow. Join us at the 2025 Manitoba Planning Conference as we build the knowledge to shape our shared future (MPPI website)
