Over 180 people participated in the California Center for Physical Activity's conference, "Creating Opportunities for Everyday Physical Activity," held in Sacramento, California on November 17-18, 2004. The two-day conference highlighted programs and partnerships that encourage everyday physical activity through policy and environmental changes and state and local programming. Conference speakers discussed how the built environment affects public health. They also presented on projects that have been developed and disseminated by the California Center for Physical Activity. Many of these projects and approaches have received recognition and awards by international and national organizations for their innovation and excellence. Attendees included public health professionals, health promotion advocates, physical activity stakeholders, land use and transportation planners, and school officials. A post-conference session, Putting the Pieces Together: Designing Your Local Physical Activity Interventions, was offered to the first 50 who registered for it. This session addressed how to incorporate model physical activity programs and collaborations with land use and transportation planners into current health promotion efforts.
