Thank you to the over 100 people who attended both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Springfield 2051 Think-Tank!

The scenario-based Think-Tank was a key step in the Springfield 2051 process. A range of plausible future scenarios were developed at the Think-Tank to act as a testing ground to assess resilience and consequences for the future of Springfield. The Think-Tank Part 1 was held on Friday, September 16 and Part 2 was held on Friday September 26 at the Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center.

The Springfield 2051 Think-Tank Report will be released in the coming weeks.
