| Sunday, October 9 F1 With 70 percent of firms offering residential design services, residential client relationships are key to the growth of any size firm. So how do the successful firms do it? How does a firm not only market to obtain clients, but more importantly, how do they keep clients over 10, 20, or even 30 years? Each panelist will highlight the keys to their success and present case studies to guide small- to medium-size firms within this key sector of the profession. Learning Outcomes

F2 Most people think of cities only as tall buildings, asphalt streets, concrete sidewalks, taxicabs, and subways. But Chicagoans know that a city doesn't have to fight against nature. A city can be part of nature, and nature can be part of the city. This session will offer strategies for implementing beautification projects that can turn under-used public spaces and forgotten places into places that work. Drew Becher will share lessons from his experience in creating a large-scale urban beautification program in the "City that works." He also will discuss new ideas and best practices from cities around the world, as well as economic and environmental benefits to the private sector of beautification programs. Learning Outcomes
Drew Becher, Office of Planning, City of Washington, DC. F3 The last two decades have seen the emergence and increasing marketability of a new style of land development. Whether referred to as “green,” “sustainable,” or “environmentally sensitive,” the new approaches to land development have one characteristic in common: they are designed and marketed to balance environmental protection with economic return. This session will track the steps that developers and designers should follow to plan and deliver an environmentally suitable and economically successful conservation development. Participants will get “why” and “how-to” advice on practical, cost-effective ways to apply the principles and techniques of environmentally sensitive development to the real estate industry. The session will also teach participants to stimulate and support market, community, and public sector acceptance with how-to examples of specific projects. Learning Outcomes
James M. Heid Jr., ASLA, UrbanGreen, LLC.; Ed McMahon, Honorary ASLA, Urban Land Institute. F4 So you've established an historic site—now what? The initial establishment of an historic site is an exciting event, the reward for years of hard work by many dedicated people. Unfortunately, once the glow wears off, many sites fall into a cycle of neglect, under-funding, and decline. Therefore, an important step in the long-term preservation of historic landscapes is to create a management plan that incorporates sustainable ecological, social, economic, and maintenance practices.
