Regional Plan Association today released images, program materials, video and audio files of the 20th Annual Regional Assembly, "Innovation and the American Metropolis," held on Friday, April 16th at the Waldorf Astoria.

Recap the days' events including keynote speeches by Bill McDonough and Adolfo Carrión and the presentation of the RPA Lifetime Leadership Award to Peter W. Herman by New York State Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch.

Additionally, audio files for each workshop panel are available. More materials, including presentations and transcripts will be posted as they become available. We'll be announcing the releases on Twitter, so be sure to follow us

The race is on between several major car manufacturers to have an electric vehicle on the road by year's end, but Tesla Motors - the world's only automaker selling highway-capable electric vehicles - is already out of the gate. See the stunning Tesla Roadster on display at the Assembly along with its charging station. Brought to you by Tesla and this year's Assembly Chair, NRG, a leading energy provider investing in clean energy technologies.

Based on your feedback from last year, we've made some changes to the structure of the Regional Assembly:

* We've added a second set of breakout panels in the afternoon so you can hear discussion about two different topics - and gain AICP CM and AIA CES credits.

* You asked for more networking, and we arranged it. We are hosting a 3pm open bar so you can get to know your fellow participants a little more.
