City Counsel Session (December 2026 - Circular Economy Focus)

City Counsel is designed for people who move across sectors, stitch networks together and connect the dots. We believe Philadelphia gets smarter, faster and better when we learn from past, present, and future dreamers and doers and figure out ways to collaborate and support each other.

Their mission is to facilitate collaboration that stimulates breakthroughs, drives inclusive economic growth, and expands our diverse and vibrant community.
