This year's meeting was titled "Leveraging 2026 to Combat Poverty & Create Sustainable Impact in Philadelphia" which has not only reflected on our recent accomplishments but also unveiled our forward-thinking vision of becoming the workforce engine for Philadelphia through 2026 and beyond. A key feature of our gathering was a dynamic panel discussion, where prominent leaders shared insights on strengthening Philadelphia's tourism sector ahead of significant events such as the U.S. Semi quincentennial, FIFA World Cup, MLB All-Star Game, and more.
Our panel discussion focused on ensuring that these economic opportunities benefit all Philadelphians, especially those in our most distressed neighborhoods. We believe this conversation was crucial for ensuring equitable economic prosperity as Philadelphia prepares for these monumental events.
