TRANSITION HOLYOKE CONFERENCE: FILLED TO CAPACITY, NO MORE TICKETS.
We are excited by the buzz across the city and high community interest about the Transition Holyoke Conference. After expanding our initial capacity due to reaching capacity within 48 hours of announcing the conference, we have sold out of tickets again for the Conference. Registrations are no longer being accepted.
EVENT LOCATION CHANGED:
As a result of expanding the conference capacity, we have moved the location for the conference to the War Memorial Building, at 310 Appleton Street. The event is still being hosted from 12-5pm on Saturday, December 10th.
While the event is free, registration is required to attend, due to limited seating and a light lunch being offered.
While there are no longer tickets available for the event, you can put your name and contact information on the wait list on the eventbrite registration page at www.transitionholyoke.eventbrite.com to be informed of any upcoming community events hosted by Mayor Elect Morse.
Thank you for your interest in participating in this important community conversation. The dialogue will continue beyond Saturday, so we hope you will continue to offer your voice and perspectives when other opportunities arise.

In the spirit of innovation, transparency, and bold leadership, I am excited to announce events to engage and involve the community throughout the transition process. My transition team will be hosting a Unity Breakfast, and a Transition Holyoke Conference.
To purchase a ticket for the Unity Breakfast, visit http://www.wepay.com/tickets/view/125388
To register for the free Transition Holyoke Conference, visit: http://www.transitionholyoke.eventbrite.com
I spoke to thousands of residents during the campaign and heard common themes of innovation, bold leadership and transparency. In the spirit of those ideals, I have organized this conference to engage the community in a deeper, more meaningful way, in the transition process.
This event, different by design, is structured to challenge, inspire and focus the best thinking from the diversity of residents in Holyoke. Creative collaborative think tanks will emerge by the end of the day, focused around community priorities such as:
• Education
• Green Economy
• Economy Development
• Public Safety
• Youth Engagement/Issues
• Art and Creative Economy
• Civic Pride
• Marketing/Holyoke’s New Story
Space is limited, so registration is encouraged for this FREE community conference. Visit www.transitionholyoke.eventbrite.com
