Revitalizing Wisconsin's Downtowns represents a set of web-based presentations (i.e., webinars) on topics of specific interest to Wisconsin downtowns that lend themselves to further dialogue and peer-learning at the local level. State and national experts will present information relevant to the topic and will be available to address your questions during these webinars.

While participants can access these webinars from their home or place of business witAttendees at webinarh the appropriate computer and phone setup, the full value of the program is achieved when everyone participates from a regional host site where you can learn from and interact with your peers and share in the local dialogue. In most cases, local sponsorships are used to help defray or reduce the cost of participating in these programs.
