A Connected Cincinnati: Exploring the Possibilities of a Strong Community | Sept 5-7

  • The Columns 109 West Elder Street Cincinnati, OH, 45202 United States (map)

Join us September 5-7, 2023 for a local learning experience with the Starfire Learning Network around the principles and practices of Asset Based Community Development, an approach that builds on the foundations of what gifts a community holds, rather than focus on its problems. We'll gather to learn from shared stories and practical examples as well as local experiences. Anyone can join us to learn lessons to build experiences and relationships to uplift communities where everyone belongs. 

Keynote speakers:

Alison Lourash, PhD | Community Scholar-Practitioner

Indigo Bishop | Founder, Free by Design

Frequently Asked Questions

I can only attend one or two days of the conference, but not all. Is there a single- or two-day rate available?

The conference is one flat rate, whether you can attend one, two or all three days.


Q. I would like to bring a guest to the Reds game on Thursday night – can you accommodate me?

Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis, one per attendee (but keep in mind that not everyone will be able to attend!) So, if you need more than one ticket, indicate that on your registration, and we'll reach back out to you to confirm additional ticket availability by September 4!


I’ve registered, but I can no longer attend. Can someone else come in my place? How do I transfer a registration?

In lieu of refunding any registration and/or workshop fees, Starfire will permit a registrant to transfer their conference registration and/or workshop fees to another individual. Transfers are free of charge, but Starfire must be notified of such a request no less than one week prior to the conference start date. Please email your request to Jan@starfirecouncil.org, and include the name and email address of the original registrant, as well as the name, email, job title, and any requests for accommodations for the new registrant.
