SolutionsFest: Learn from More Than 30 Speakers Across 7 Events, Online, January 13 to January 29
Event Description

SolutionsFest is Next City’s live virtual celebration of the Solutions of the Year, featuring city-builders and evidence-backed sessions on climate recovery, affordable housing, community wealth, tenant power, new grocery models, and creative civic infrastructure—highlighted in partnership with Results for America.

​​Next City’s SolutionsFest is our annual live, virtual festival celebrating the ideas and city-builders featured in our Solutions of the Year special issue. When you register, you’re getting a front-row seat to hear directly from more than 30 organizers, public servants, entrepreneurs, and artists who are putting bold ideas into practice in cities right now.

Across multiple sessions, SolutionsFest spotlights the most promising approaches our journalists have reported on—including rebuilding after climate disaster, financing affordable housing without federal dollars, preventing displacement and building intergenerational wealth, and creativity as civic infrastructure. Whether you work in housing, climate, economic mobility, public systems, or grassroots organizing, you’ll leave with concrete examples and inspiration you can bring to your city.

Featured sessions include:
Solutions for Rebuilding After Climate Disaster
Building Affordable Housing Without Federal Dollars
Building Wealth and Preventing Displacement by Addressing Heirs’ Properties
Tenants Rising: Organizing for Housing Justice
The New Grocery Models
Artists in Government: Creativity as Civic Infrastructure
Community Power Is Finally Going Big in Economic Development
