WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
OUR CONGRESS
"I’ve been coming for this event for ten years now. And there’s no other place in the world like it. I think it’s an essential place for cities, for anybody who care about the future of our cities. If you’re not here, how are you going to actually connect together?"
Jeff MerrittHead of Urban Transformation | World Economic Forum 
"It’s my first time here but I know it’s been running for many years and it’s an amazing event. I think so many of the solutions we need are in these halls… So, not only does it give us the sense of the solutions, I think it can give us a sense of hope and a sense of courage as well."
Claire O’NeillFormer UK Climate and Energy Minister | Global Decarbonization Advisor 
"I think an event like this is something that can really help foster the dialogue and the potential collaboration between countries, actors, private and public organizations in terms of finding solutions that are better equipped for the future."
Tamira SnellFuturist and Senior Advisor | Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies

Margaret MitchellResearcher and Chief Ethics Scientist | Hugging Face
