North American City Leadership Forum

On 25-26 February 2026, the North American City Leadership Forum will take place in Miami. It will be the 57th meeting for city leaders convened by the Cities Today Institute and serve as the inaugural in-person meeting of the newly created City Innovation Network.

The Forum will bring together a maximum of 20 North American members and interested city leaders in a private setting to exchange best practices through roundtable discussions, Q&A sessions and case study presentations. Select industry partners are invited to join the dialogue alongside Chief Digital/Information Officers, Smart City Managers and Directors of Innovation from local governments.

Programme

The peer-to-peer organisation of the content and the composition of the group allow for active, challenging discussions that help city leaders arrive with a series of issues and depart with solutions based on other city or partner experiences.

With 20 cities present, we interview their representatives for the agenda and there will be short presentations from some cities followed by interactive discussions for the group.
