CLF Washington digi 2025
On 10-11 September 2025, the City Leadership Forum on Digitalisation will take place in Washington, DC. It will be the 54th meeting for city leaders convened by Cities Today. 
 
The invitation-only Forum will bring together a maximum of 20 North American city leaders in a private setting to exchange best practices through roundtable discussions, Q&A sessions and case study presentations. Select industry partners are invited to join the dialogue alongside Chief Digital/Information Officers, Smart City Managers and Directors of Innovation from local governments.
 
Programme
The peer-to-peer organisation of the content and the composition of the group allow for active, challenging discussions that help city leaders arrive with a series of issues and depart with solutions based on other city or partner experiences. 
 
With 20 cities present, we interview their representatives for the agenda and there will be short presentations from some cities followed by interactive discussions for the group.
