CSG Consultants attended the 2026 APA California Conference, connecting with planning professionals, city leaders and community partners from across the state. 

This year’s theme, “Crafting Our Narrative, Planning as Storytelling,” highlighted the role of storytelling in shaping communities, communicating a shared vision and connecting people through the planning process. The conference brought together professionals dedicated to shaping California’s future, providing opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss emerging challenges and explore approaches to thoughtful, sustainable community development. 

Throughout the event, our team enjoyed engaging in meaningful conversations about the evolving needs of cities and counties, the importance of collaboration and the role planning plays in building vibrant, resilient communities. 

As a 100% employee-owned firm dedicated to serving California’s public agencies, CSG understands the importance of strong partnerships and practical solutions that support long-term community goals. Events like APA California provide valuable opportunities to strengthen these relationships, share industry perspectives and stay connected with the professionals helping shape our communities. 

We extend our appreciation to everyone who visited booth #200 to meet our team and learn more about CSG’s planning and environmental services. And a special thank you to everyone who stopped by for some CSG swag! Thanks to the incredible turnout, we went home with none left to spare. We hope everyone enjoys their goodies! 

Thank you to APA California for bringing together another opportunity for collaboration, learning and connection. We look forward to continuing these conversations and working alongside our public agency partners to deliver lasting solutions for the communities we serve.
