About this Event
Hosted by Portland State University's National Policy Consensus Center
Registration closes May 29, 2024
Please join us for an exciting and intellectually stimulating three days in Portland, Oregon, at Portland State University (PSU) from Thursday, June 20 through Saturday, June 22, 2024.
The annual conference of the University Network for Collaborative Governance is unique in offering opportunities to learn from your peers about innovations and lessons learned across a rich array of collaborative governance teaching, scholarship, and practice.
The University Network for Collaborative Governance’s Annual Conference will bring UNCG members and friends together in Portland to engage in a lively discussion about collaborative governance's roots and potential future growth. Our location in Oregon will also allow attendees to share how collaborative governance has evolved and grown through on-the-ground efforts.
Attendees will also showcase their work through Lightning Talks, Concurrent Sessions, and Plenary Sessions. Respond to the Call for Proposals here: https://tinyurl.com/uncg-2024-call
Growth is grounded in roots and roots allow us to grow. We at UNCG have been reflecting on our roots as they have allowed us to grow, and are looking ahead to growth honoring our roots. As we evolve as an organization, we recognize that we are growing as individuals, thought leaders, and practitioners. Our field is also growing, as we stretch to incorporate burgeoning topics of AI, data and technology in decision-making, democracy under stress, inclusivity in contexts with a history of trauma, mindfulness, and burnout in collaborative governance. Our goal with this conference is to acknowledge our roots and facilitate discussion on future growth.
The UNCG Conference is open to all people interested in collaborative governance in connection with a college or university. Proposals should connect to efforts that have or could potentially connect with university-based programs, centers, faculty, staff, or students. We welcome submissions from both UNCG members and non-members.
UNCG has student and working professional memberships. Members receive a discount on conference registration fees. Pay your annual dues or join UNCG here.
