I want to let you know that a lot involved with the Placemaking Conference are pictures and storytelling so you will not see a lot of notes. However, I will point out that Kennedy Smith was awesome, Atlas Obscura is a really cool book (and I bought a copy), and our very own Kelly Tompkins was fantastic as a speaker!! She had the crowd laughing more than any other speaker, but was still very informative as well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One last thing, there was one last session called Artists in Action, but my computer died and I could not find a plug-in to charge it up!

Also, I did not realize that Placemaking is not a real word. We need to get with Webster’s Dictionary to fix that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#00263E'>Jeremy Zeller</span></b><span style='color:#002060'><br></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#757575'>Oklahoma Main Street<br>Oklahoma Department of Commerce</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#939597'><br></span><u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060'>Jeremy.Zeller@OKcommerce.gov<br></span></u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#757575'>405-815-5186 </span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#757575'>| </span><u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060'><a href="https://okcommerce.gov/"><span style='color:#002060'>OKcommerce.gov</span></a></span></u><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#939597'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
