The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final hosted by New York New Jersey will be the biggest and most-watched event ever with viewership of over 3 billion worldwide and bringing millions to North America during the six-week tournament.

As we approach not one but two monumental events—the FIFA World Cup 2026, hosted across 16 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and the 250th Anniversary of the United States —our panel will explore the transformative, long-term impacts of 2026 on the NYNJ and Philadelphia regions. Focused on community, we will also highlight the importance of big-picture thinking and fostering unity of purpose among all stakeholders as we plan for these unprecedented events.

We will share best practices for collaboration, offering strategies to unite diverse groups and create a powerful, collaborative ethos within teams. Our panel will demonstrate the necessity of a coordinated approach across many different sectors. Nonprofits will be highlighted as essential catalysts in driving effective public-private partnerships and fostering unprecedented collaboration.

This panel is a must-attend for leaders and stakeholders from other cities hosting large-scale events, as it will provide invaluable lessons and actionable insights on creating lasting, positive impacts for all. Join us for a dynamic session where we share transformative strategies to ensure these historic events leave an enduring legacy of success for our communities.
