CA-APA CONFERENCE 2020 RIVERSIDE
|
|
#APACA2020 Theme and Logo Contest
RE-BOOT
Extended Due Date - May 31
|
|
The IES-APA is
STILL
asking for your help with our Theme and Logo for the 2020 Chapter Conference!
No, this is not a broken record.
Yes, we did receive submissions but wanted to extend the deadline to allow more people to submit their ideas.
What Do We Need?
We need creative individuals that care about planning in the Inland Empire (and throughout the State) to help us make a statement about what the Inland Empire is and what it means to planning. We have broken this task down into two components:
Conference Theme
What is happening within the planning profession and the region that is relevant, exciting, sad, or impacts your work/home? We want to hear from you about the themes and issues that should highlight and unify this conference for 2020. So give us a few words or a whole paragraph. This conference should focus on what is important to planning at the national, regional, and local scale.
Conference Logo
While we received submissions for a logo, we felt a few parameters needed to be identified to assist future submissions. Here is some basic criteria:
- The logo should focus on important elements of the Inland Empire. While the conference is located in Riverside, the Inland Empire Section covers the whole of San Bernardino and Riverside County
- The logo should be easy use for a variety of purposes (print/ web applications, use on SWAG (mugs, shirts, pens), etc...)
- The logo can be designed on a spectrum with simple designs used for giveaways and more complex designs for print and web applications.
- The logo should compliment the theme, where applicable.
Ideally our logo and theme will become the branding that you see as somewhat interchangeable. The Geico Gecko is a great example. Because you are already imagining a little green gecko with a British accent.
So what is the IES-APA's Logo and Theme? Well that is up to all of you.
Please submit your proposals by
May 31, 2019
. The Conference Co-Chairs will select the preferred logo and work with the creator to ensure it adheres to specifications used by the Chapter.
The Winning submission will not only become famous (equivalent to 1,000 friends on MySpace), but will also receive a complimentary registration to the 2020 Conference and receive credit in the Conference Program.

The specifications for the logo can be found

IES-APA Director's Report

It’s that time of the year again – Awards Season! We have another great Awards Program planned for
Thursday, May 23, 2019
at the Riverside Convention Center. This year, we have 17 different award recipients representing projects, plans, and people within the Inland Empire. We hope you can attend the program and celebrate with us the great work being done throughout the region. As a bonus, there will be a surprise guest entertainment that you don’t want to miss…and no, it is not the Section Director juggling again.
Registration is now available for the event. Also, as we do each year, we will conduct a raffle with our magic prize wheel of opportunity. All funds generated through raffle ticket sales will be matched by this Section and then donated to the California Planning Foundation (CPF), which funds student scholarships for planning programs. We look forward to seeing you there!

Mark your calendars, reserve your table, and plan to spend an enlightening day with the region’s leaders!
WRCOG’s 28th Annual General Assembly and Leadership Conference will be held Thursday, June 20th at Pechanga Resort Casino. In addition to the renowned evening General Assembly address, this year will also feature the Future of Cities Symposium during the day, which expands educational and networking opportunities exponentially!
The day will begin with the Future of Cities Symposium, which will highlight discussions on three major topics of interest, as follows: 1) Will a robot take my job? 2) Will I be allowed to drive my car in the future? And 3) Are suburbs dying? A panel of elected officials will react to the issues presented.
The evening’s General Assembly address will feature Josh Earnest, former White House Press Secretary under President Barack Obama (2014-2017) and current Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer for United Airlines. As the private and public sectors struggle how to effectively communicate to increasingly skeptical consumers and audiences, Mr. Earnest will relay his expertise on communicating from the highest levels.
