Short  description of the activity and how it meets the CM criteria (up to 300 words)

 

This year we will conduct four web-based presentations (i.e., webinars) on topics of specific interest to Wisconsin’s downtowns.  What makes this series effective is the dialogue and peer-learning that occurs locally, following the presentation at each site.

We have scheduled four sessions this year with the theme “New Approaches to Downtown Development in a Period of Economic Recovery.” Individual sessions will focus on how shopping, living, working and playing downtown has changed through the recession and how we can increase the vitality of our communities.

Thursday, March 11: Shopping Downtown and the “Deliberate Consumer”

Host: David Milder (DANTH, Inc.)

How retailers and downtown organizations can adapt to the “new normal” in consumer behavior.
