How would you like to have lunch with a famous author in the field of urbanization? You’ll have a chance to do just that at Convention! At Friday’s luncheon, Bruce Katz will share a first-hand account of his latest book, The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism. He’ll offer ideas on using public, private, and civic partnerships to become a change engine.
Katz, the Centennial Scholar at the Brookings Institution, focuses on the challenges and opportunities of global urbanization. He also co-authored the book, The Metropolitan Revolution.
The Katz luncheon presentation is just the tip of the iceberg. We have plenty more general sessions, breakout sessions, and mobile tours to engage you. Plus, ArtPrize will be in full swing throughout the city.
Please join us in Grand Rapids, Sept. 20-22, for a once-in-a-lifetime Convention experience!
