About

The Elevate Symposium - Creating and Sustaining Special Places is the second in a series of global symposiums exploring a multidisciplinary approach to Place Making.

Elevate brings together some of the most imaginative thinkers and place makers from around the world to celebrate, explore and define this salient and timely topic.

Topics and discussions will be based on the five founding pillars for successful places:
1. Cultural Connectivity to Country
2. Economic Sustainability
3. Built Environment
4. Natural Environment
5. Governance, Leadership and Engagement.

The event this year will be held in beautiful Vail, Colorado which is celebrating it's 50 year anniversary.  By way of contrast we have also invited a delegation of First Australians who have a continuous unbroken link to their country for over 50,000 years.

Elevate Symposium will bring together Architects, Town Planners, Resort Developers, Environmentalists, Community Leaders and those interested in both creating and sustaining special places.
