CEOs for Cities Urban Leaders Summit

September

2009

Tuesday September 29, 2009 - Wednesday September 30, 2009

Washington, DC

Generously sponsored by Bank of America.

Just as Congress returns to Washington to tackle revolutionary legislation affecting cities, urban leaders will gather in our nation’s capital for two days to take a fresh look at the unprecedented possibilities for inventing the next generation of great American cities.

We have 48 hours together.  What can we do?

  • Help shape the future of American cities
  • Engage local leaders with federal officials to develop a high-impact urban agenda for U.S. cities
  • Uncover new opportunities for building the next generation of great American cities
  • Hear from risk takers, big thinkers and new leaders on the possibilities we’ve yet to uncover

Don’t miss it.
