The Urban Sustainability Initiative's inaugural conference, "Shaping the Future of Southern Nevada: Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability," was held October 24, 2007. It attracted more than 400 participants from Nevada who represented local municipalities, private industry, architectural firms, social service agencies, colleges and universities, and local businesses.
These professionals came together to learn from more than 40 experts in six panel sessions on environmental sustainability, health challenges, economic growth and diversification, youth and aged populations, community development and architecture, and service learning.
