Planning
Welcome to the Great Lakes Building ReUse Conference blog site!
This blog is intended to be a place for Great Lakes Building ReUse Conference participants and other interested people to gather and share knowledge about issues relating to building reuse, vacant land use, urban revitalization, art and other topics. A blog seemed like a good idea, because it is an easy two-way communication stream that can be used by conference organizers, participants, and the general public alike.
The purpose of this blog is to continue sharing information and enthusiasm for future Great Lakes Building ReUse Conferences. We hope this blogsite can be used as a tool to organize this year’s conference.
We, at Buffalo ReUse, love to see change happen. We are pumped by movers and shakers, we are enthused by active artists and creative types, we are ecstatic about urban change makers! We hope to see another Great Lakes Building ReUse Conference to keep bringing these people together to educate each other, share ideas, and provide the ground to keep cultivating amazing work!
Join the conversation. Where do you think the next conference should take place? Are you or someone you know a good conference organizer - prepared to raise the funds, dream-up interesting and engaging coursetracks and presenters, hatch out marketing materials? We are ready to help by sharing our experience organizing the Great Lakes Building ReUse Conference 2008. Tell us your ideas, ask us advice, use us as a sounding board!
Let’s get the discussion going. Hope to hear from you soon
