Policy Summit 2027
Insights to Impact: Advancing Economic Opportunity for Communities
About the 2027 summit
Policy Summit 2027—Insights to Impact: Advancing Economic Opportunity for Communities—will take place on June 23–24, 2027, in Cleveland, Ohio. Now in its eighteenth convening, the biennial summit is the Cleveland Fed's premier gathering for community development research and practice.
Economic opportunity is being reshaped by changes such as new technologies, shifting labor markets, and new approaches to workforce development and community investment. Policy Summit connects research and insights on these changes to the decisions leaders must make about them.
Join policymakers, researchers, and leaders in the nonprofit, corporate, finance, philanthropic, and government sectors to
- Explore emerging trends through new research and frontline insights from the Federal Reserve and other leading experts
- Learn what works from proven strategies and measurable results of local, state, and federal efforts
- Turn ideas into action by identifying approaches your organization, agency, or region can adopt
- Build relationships with decisionmakers and peers from a range of sectors nationwide
The 2027 summit will take place at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown, 100 Lakeside Avenue East. A limited selection of plenary sessions will be available virtually.
Most of the 700+ attendees of Policy Summit 2025 said it was “very” or “extremely” valuable to them. We’re working to deliver the same to you in 2027.
