Beyond the 100-year building…
The Forum12 programming calendar offers a dynamic lineup of events designed to engage professionals and enthusiasts in sustainable building, community development and innovative funding strategies. Kicking off on Thursday, February 27th, attendees are welcomed with check-in and same-day registration, followed by a series of interactive roundtable discussions. Sessions include "If You Build It, They Will Come (& Stay!)," focusing on cultivating lasting community spaces, and "Multi-family for ME," exploring resilient multi-family housing solutions. Industry leaders like Rachel Murphy, Liz Zelnick, Richard Burbank, Katrina Belle, Jesse Thompson, and Adam Routhier will share insights on building culture, sustainable design, and creative funding approaches. The afternoon is capped with an optional ticketed networking dinner, offering a chance for deeper connection and collaboration.
Forum12 topics range from cultural development to funding models, with expert speakers from leading organizations like Maine Passive House, Kaplan Thompson Architects, The Genesis Fund, and Avesta Housing. Each session is crafted to inspire actionable ideas and partnerships, ensuring participants leave with both knowledge and meaningful connections to drive their projects forward.
