== YIMBYTown 2016 ==
The first annual YIMBYTown Conference was organized by the [http://www.betterboulder.com Better Boulder] organization and held in Boulder, Colorado in June 2016. The conference drew pro-development, sustainable transportation and YIMBY activists from across North America and beyond.
"The excitement was palpable at this inaugural national gathering. Participants swapped stories of exhilarating successes and heartbreaking defeats. They spoke of the thrill of finding kindred spirits on Twitter and Facebook and feeling crushed in the face of sharp criticism in online message boards. They debated policy approaches, educational techniques, and organizing strategies. They wrestled with how to advance social equity, diversity, and inclusion. And they dared to dream big, contemplating a national network with the power to reshape the country’s growth patterns." - [https://www.greenbelt.org/ Greenbelt Alliance]'s Matt Vander Sluis on YIMBYTown 2016
