Theme

Our conference theme this year was “Open city, your Minneapolis.” 

We wanted to focus on making Minneapolis a transparent, accessible city. Being an "open city" means being open to everyone, open to new ideas and open for business.

At the event, guests could:

  • Learn about how to get involved in government decision-making
  • Find opportunities in their local community
  • Celebrate the many parts of city that are reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic

Conference goals

We host this conference so that:

  • Residents, community groups, neighborhood organizations, City of Minneapolis departments and decision-makers can connect.
  • All communities feel welcome to get involved in local decision-making.
  • Residents learn about programs and policies that affect them.
