Downtowners Gathered
Downtown Stakeholders from across North Dakota and the region gathered last week in Downtown Fargo for the 6th Annual ND Downtown Conference. Keynote speakers included retail expert Robert Gibbs, Heritage Consulting’s Donna Harris, Kilbourne Group founder Doug Burgum as well as presentations on Downtown street design, public private partnerships, branding, BIDs, entrepreneurial support and numerous breakout sessions and networking opportunities. Downtowners of Bismarck staff attended, as well as private business members and City of Bismarck Planning Department staff. As expected, attendees peppered each other with questions about Downtown programs, design, partnership and everything in between. It’s always great to learn and gather with other Downtown Stakeholders, looking forward networking with the group at next year’s conference! For more visit www.nddowntowns.com.
