The 2013 LOCUS Leadership Summit took place June 4-5, 2013 in Washington, DC. Developers, investors and other real estate professionals gathered to share their experiences, gain insight into new innovations, and connect with policy makers, all with the goal of advancing the development of walkable, sustainable communities. With a theme of “Bringing the Market to the Hill”, the 2013 Summit focused on bridging the gap between the new reality LOCUS members are dealing with across the country and federal policies that are stuck in an increasingly bygone era.
