Love Notes and Motorcycles: 2014 Keynote Speakers on Social Media

The 2014 Annual Conference keynote speakers created a buzz of energy and inspiration in St. Cloud last week—and many attendees took to Twitter to share the experience using the hashtag #MnCities.

Peter Kageyama, author of "For the Love of Cities," explained on Thursday how all people have a relationship with their places. He showed how cities—in both simple and grand ways—can create emotional experiences and build relationships between residents and their cities.

On Friday, Mark Scharenbroich, author of "Nice Bike," took to the stage with stories about everything from a successful box company to an Iron Range teacher he'll never forget. Scharenbroich's stories illustrated the importance of acknowledging and honoring the people around us.
