ABOUT THE CIVIC SUMMIT

The Civic Summit is a full-day, in-person event designed to create a space where both emerging and experienced civic leaders can share knowledge, build relationships, and inspire collective action.

The theme, We the People, celebrates the voices shaping Boston’s past and future.

The event provides a platform for meaningful networking and collaboration across neighborhoods and organizations. Through carefully curated workshops, attendees gain practical insights and strategies they can apply within their own communities to drive tangible change. In addition to workshops, the Civic Summit features dynamic panel discussions with thought leaders and subject matter experts from a variety of fields. These conversations, combined with the exchange among attendees, aim to spark innovative ideas and creative solutions to the challenges facing our communities.

Free and open to the public.
