CEOs: City lovers tweet Cincinnati takeaways
Civic urban leaders from across disciplines–educators, executives, entrepreneurs–shared lessons and inspiration in Cincinnati last week, as the city played host to a conference that celebrated good ideas and creative leaders. So what were the takeaways?
They hailed from Detroit, Michigan, and Incheon, South Korea. From San Francisco and Washington, DC. From New York and Miami.
Attendees at the CEOs for Cities regional conference in Cincinnati last week saw the city at its sunniest, the Banks at its best yet and its neighborhoods as prime examples of urban renewal.
In all, 285 city lovers came to the conference where topics ranged from how to operate a city like a startup to how to spur change through collective impact, or large-scale, coordinated collaboration.
And, in true 21st century fashion, they tweeted. Scroll down to see a collection of attendee musings below, or search Twitter for #CEOsforCities and #startupcity.
