Why partner with PIEP?
This is your great time to maximize your brand leadership within your targeted market and audiences!
The Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP) is the only Accredited Professional Organization of Environmental Planners (APO-EP) registered with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). PIEP as a non-profit organization is mandated to promote and ensure the professional development of planners in the Philippines and pursue relevant policies and advocacies on sustainable development.
This in-person event is simultaneous with the observance of the Philippine Environmental Planning Day through the issuance of Proclamation No. 847, s. of 2019 signed on November 15, 2019 declaring ‘NOVEMBER 8 OF EVERY YEAR AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING DAY OF THE PHILIPPINES’. This also coincides with the 74th World Town Planning Day celebrated in 30 countries on 4 continents every 8th of November to recognize and promote the role of planning in creating livable communities.
Who will attend and how our NATCON builds up PIEP’s audience reach?
The annual convention (NATCON) provides a valuable opportunity for your office, company, or organization to establish connections with a large network of over 6,000 licensed environmental planners. These professionals hold positions in government agencies, reputable private companies, and organizations throughout the Philippines and even overseas.
Environmental planners, as a diverse group, often have additional qualifications and backgrounds in fields such as engineering, architecture, urban planning, consulting, real estate, development, economics, law, academia, and planning administration. Their expertise spans various sectors and disciplines related to environmental planning and sustainable development.
By participating in NATCON, you can engage with this wide range of professionals, creating opportunities for collaboration, partnerships, and knowledge sharing. Building connections with licensed environmental planners can be beneficial for your office, company, or organization in several ways:
-
Expertise and advice: Environmental planners possess specialized knowledge in areas such as environmental impact assessment, land use planning, sustainability practices, and regulatory compliance. By connecting with them, you can access their expertise and seek advice on environmental planning projects, policies, and initiatives.
-
Project partnerships: Collaborating with environmental planners can lead to partnerships in undertaking projects related to environmental planning, infrastructure development, sustainable design, and more. Their multidisciplinary backgrounds make them valuable assets in addressing complex challenges and implementing sustainable solutions.
-
Access to networks: The licensed environmental planners attending NATCON represent a diverse and influential network. By connecting with them, you gain access to their extensive professional networks, which can open doors to new opportunities, resources, and partnerships.
-
Policy and regulatory insights: Environmental planners are well-versed in the regulatory frameworks and policies related to environmental planning and sustainable development. Engaging with them can provide valuable insights into the latest regulations, trends, and best practices in the field.
-
Market exposure: If your office, company, or organization operates in the environmental planning, sustainability, or related sectors, connecting with licensed environmental planners can increase your visibility and exposure to potential clients, customers, or collaborators.
- Overall, participating in NATCON and connecting with licensed environmental planners offers numerous advantages, including access to expertise, project partnerships, networks, policy insights, and market exposure. It is an opportunity to engage with professionals who play a crucial role in shaping sustainable development practices in the Philippines and beyond.
