About this conference
Hosted annually by the Central Section in late August at Camp Sequoia Lake, the Sierra Retreat offers a weekend getaway for APA members, their families and guests, to experience cherished time in the outdoors enjoying hiking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, campfires and relaxation in a natural setting. On Saturday morning, a professional development session (discussing a planning topic of interest) is presented, which allows for AICP credits. All meals and lodging are included with registration. The 2026 retreat will focus on the implications of AI Data Centers in the Central Valley for planning, covering land use and zoning, environmental review, energy and water infrastructure, economic development, public input, and the emerging role of AI tools in planning practice.
