Some of the most pressing social problems and policy issues confronting
America and the rest of the world involve urban people and places.
Extension professionals across the nation are working in and across various
program areas to address these issues. However, urban settings are often
competitive environments for Extension educators, so novel approaches to
programming are increasingly necessary in order for Extension to gain and
maintain its place as a premier institution for the betterment of urban
individuals, families, and communities. 

The National Urban Extension Conference provides an opportunity for
Extension professionals to learn first-hand about these innovative
approaches from their colleagues and receive inspiration for their work at
home.  Now is the time for a new dialogue to integrate urban Extension
scholarship and practice and to define the role that Extension will play in
engaging in collective purpose.  

The conference will provide opportunities for Extension professionals from
all program areas to share their research and innovative educational
strategies that address the needs of urban, suburban, and peri-urban
populations as well as urban-rural interdependencies.  The program planning
committee plans for participants to learn about cutting edge research and to
see innovative outreach efforts that successfully transfer research-based
information to various urban clientele.  Proposals may be for presentations,
workshops, posters, and panels (defined below) for the 2017 Conference.
Abstracts that highlight research and/or outreach activities that involve
partnerships between practitioners and Extension professionals are
especially encouraged.  We are also looking for innovative ideas that are
just that, ideas; which can be presented in an Ignite format.
