Join this virtual mayors panel via livestream.

This annual event brings together mayors virtually from cities across the states of the Big Ten in a conversation around timely topics of national importance that manifest at the municipal level. From development of social infrastructure that promotes social cohesion, challenges and opportunities of creating an infrastructure for urban technology, and participation in local elections, four mayors will share insights on how leadership at the city level shapes our national approaches to some of the most pressing issues of the day.
