"Plan Slam!" Call for Sessions Extended

EXTENDED to Sept. 10

We’re once again inviting planners to propose fun, educational, and thought-provoking short stories to tell their peers. This is your opportunity to share big ideas about the planning world in a short presentation, and in a highly visual way.

We plan to host a Plan Slam! on Friday, October 10, during the 2025 APA WA Conference in Tacoma.

Submit a Proposal

The deadline to submit a proposal has been extended Wednesday, September 10.

What’s Plan Slam?

Much like a PechaKucha (which is a trademarked name), presentations may be up to 20 slides, with each slide showing for 20 seconds.
The whole presentation may be no longer than six minutes and 40 seconds. Slides will auto-advance after 20 seconds, so brevity and focus are the name of the game.
Presentations should make a quick impression and share something memorable and fun. We encourage you to use more images than words on the slides, and to ensure that your presentation is clever and interesting.
