I've been on the road a ton recently, including a recent jaunt from my home in Boston over to Long Beach, California for the California Adaptation Forum. There were some really impressive and engaging presentations, and you can access most of them here.
By far my favorite part of the event was the Tools Salon where a number of entities -- including yours truly, showing off our Sustainability Dashboard -- showcased the various tools and resources that are available to assist with adaptation planning.
You can download the Tools Salon flyer to get a solid overview of all the tools that were shared with Forum participants.

Now there are best practice databases, curated resource libraries, visualization tools, GIS and other mapping tools, the list goes on. They are interactive and provide a direct role in policy planning, community outreach and partner collaboration when it comes to adaptation.
Oh and did I mention that the Tools Salon at the California Adaptation Forum was fun, too? Thanks to everyone who snapped a shot at our photo booth where we were doing demos of our Sustainability Dashboard.
