Austin Convention Center
Room 10AB

From Burning Man to places all over the world, how do cities become thriving centers of civic engagement? What tools and infrastructure help people to become makers of solutions? How do leaders inspire citizens to get involved? And how do the concepts of generosity, gifting, and the sharing economy come into play?

Diverse voices of business and community leaders speaking on cities across the U.S. and globe will share philosophies, approaches, and examples of what is working in these regions to get people involved in making their cities more creative and connected places to live.

From changemaking to participatory urbanism, this panel will examine examples of what it takes to create an atmosphere of invitation, inspiration, and innovation that compels individuals to engage in a larger civic and social ecosystem for the betterment of their communities.
