We recently announced the Scholarship Fund Drive, which is an effort to provide support to students, youth, and those who would otherwise be unable to attend the upcoming 9th National Conference on Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD2023) happening in Atlanta, October 13-15th. NCDD is seeing an increased demand for scholarship support to help students, young people, and other deserving candidates attend the conference. We have received over $15,000 in requests so far, and expect more in the coming days. You can help us by chipping in a few dollars so we can help bring these amazing people to the conference. Not only does contributing to the Fund help these individuals attend, but it’s mutually beneficial as it increases the opportunity for even more connections with fellow civic innovators and engagement enthusiasts, win-win! Please help out if you can – no amount is too little, and every little bit helps. To make a donation to the scholarship fund, go to: tinyurl.com/NCDD2023scholarshipfund. Thank you so much!

This highly interactive three-day conference is the signature event for dialogue, deliberation, civic and public engagement work. Join movers and shakers to explore new innovations, collaborate together and tackle the challenges we face. With ticket sales flying and the discounted hotel room block pricing still available, people have been been asking about trying to find hotel roommate. We wanted to offer space for conference attendees to use for coordinating NCDD2023 connections – whether it be to find a roommate, organize rideshares, or whatever else you need. We've created a Google doc for coordinating information for attendees to use - CLICK HERE for the NCDD2023 Attendee Logistics Coordinating Doc. The conference is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter. We’ve negotiated a great rate of $165/night for conference attendees. Note that the rate is only in effect until 5:00pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 20th, so you'll need to reserve your room before that to guarantee the $165 rate. We recommend you reserve your rooms before that, as our group block could fill up before the September 20th deadline. In order to get the conference rate, please book your room here: Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter - NCDD 2023 Room Block. Alternatively, you may book by phone by calling 866-846-7573 (toll free) between the hours of 7:00am- 11:00pm EST and using group code "TAD," or by logging on to www.cpravinia.com and using code "TAD".

Submit your proposal at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhkRQ7JB1weLurEFHlxhbsUszDi2l7aD9LmHNBIu5yZhTocQ/viewform The D&D Showcase is a lively reception and networking event that provides an opportunity for select individuals and organizations in our field to showcase some of the leading ideas, tools, projects, and initiatives in dialogue & deliberation with conference participants all in one space. We know that these ideas, tools, and initiatives are all designed to help us overcome some of the challenges facing public engagement. This year, we want to organize those presenting around the challenges their work helps those in the field to overcome. The Showcase is a fun way for conference-goers to meet some of the movers-and-shakers in D&D and hear about the projects, programs, and tools that are making waves in our work. We hope this new approach to addressing challenges will ensure people connect with the ideas and people that can help them in their own work.
