News ULI's Atlanta April forum includes Mike Huckabee
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Former presidential candidate and rodent chef Mike Huckabee will visit Atlanta next month to speak as part of the Urban Land Institute's 2009 Spring Council Forum.
The former governor of Arkansas, who now hosts a bizarre television show on a comedy network, will be the event's keynote speaker. Other notables scheduled to speak at the forum include Mayor Shirley Franklin, Charlie Rose and some guy I've never heard of but who looks very, very smart.
Jokes aside, ULI organizes thought-provoking events, and this forum's schedule is worth a look if you're a lover of urban environments. On the agenda are a variety of seminars and break-out sessions, as well as mobile sessions where attendees can learn about the Beltline, Atlantic Station and Buckhead. Thursday promises a presentation about the current economic crisis.
For more information, visit ULI's event website. Any welcome gifts of sauteed teriyaki opossum will be immediately incinerated, so don't even try it!
