This September 24-26, the world's most innovative city makers will converge on the District of Columbia-a city that has captured the spirit of creative collaboration like few others.
Local Change. A Global Movement.
District-scale projects are emerging in cities worldwide, and the Summit will feature information-rich education sessions, keynotes, and workshops designed to share field reports and test emerging best practices from North America and beyond. Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities for thoughtful networking and informal conversations.
You'll come away with a clear sense of the state of the movement, a new community of fellow practitioners, and the tools and inspiration to go back to their own communities and start laying the groundwork for the neighborhoods of the future: healthy, vibrant, sustainable and just.
