LLPDCPI — the League of Local Planning and Development Coordinators of the Philippines, Inc. — is set to hold its 36th National Convention with Cagayan / Region II as host. The league’s official site has confirmed the regional hosting mandate and preparation leadership; a circulating rescheduled invitation letter cites 16–20 November 2026 at the Cagayan Provincial Coliseum in Tuguegarao City, with a live-out fee around ₱10,000, online registration via Google Form (invitation cites a 16 October 2026 cutoff), and continuing professional development units for planners.
Who attends: Provincial, city, and municipal planning and development coordinators (PPDCs, CPDCs, MPDCs) and planning staff — the officers who own CDP/CLUP language and often gatekeep how “smart city,” solid-waste, and digital permitting show up in local plans.
Theme (invitation claim): Collaborative Action for Growth, Adaptation, and Yield-driven Advancement for Nation-Building — treat as provisional until posted on llpdcpi.gov.ph.
Why it matters: Densest Philippine room of local planners in this quarter. Useful for digital-LGU, eBOSS/eLGU, and evidence-based waste-planning conversations. Calendar clash: Thailand Smart City Expo runs 18–20 November in Bangkok — choose one if traveling.
Status caveat: Dates, venue, fee, and registration form are evidenced primarily by a circulating invitation, not yet as a dated event post on the official LLPDCPI website as of 29 September 2026. Confirm before making travel arrangements.
