Mayors Coming Together to Change the World

Bloomberg CityLab was founded on the principle that the most important innovation is happening at the local level and that global impact can be achieved when cities share solutions.

Last year’s Bloomberg CityLab in Amsterdam brought together more than 500 city leaders, experts, innovators, and artists from around the world, representing cities across six continents. In addition, more than 40 mayors attended CityLab Amsterdam from leading cities in the U.S., Europe, Africa, and Latin America to attend sessions addressing challenges cities are facing regarding climate, infrastructure, technology, migration, mental health, and more.

Past CityLab conferences have been hosted in New York, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Paris, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and Amsterdam.
