Austin becomes the classroom.
The Urban Learning Lab is NAPPA 2027’s signature experiential program, connecting C-PACE conversations to downtown Austin’s built environment through a guided, discussion-based learning experience.
A facilitated mobile workshop in downtown Austin.
Real-world learning beyond the ballroom.
The Urban Learning Lab is designed to turn downtown Austin into a living classroom for C-PACE, commercial real estate, building performance, and market implementation.
Learning in context.
Stops are selected to connect conference themes to real buildings, redevelopment patterns, and infrastructure investment.
Designed for conversation.
The experience is structured around practical questions, discussion prompts, and applied insights from project and market partners.
Engagement with substance.
Sponsor recognition is tied to one of the most visible and memorable elements of the conference experience.
From hospitality financing to high-performance development.
