About the Events.

Cities are rethinking where and how things are made. This agenda reflects that shift in motion. Here you will find the gatherings we host, the moments our cities convene, and the forums where production, policy, design, and community meet. From our Expert Talks to regional Network Gatherings and global conferences, these are working spaces where new local value chains are explored, alliances are formed, and practical models are tested. We include events that matter to this transition. Some we lead. Others are driven by partners and local actors pushing manufacturing, circularity, and governance forward in their own territories. Together, they map the evolving landscape of production anchored in place.
