“You know when a conference begins with a jazz session with local saxophone legend Bobby Watson playing in beautiful Helzberg Hall it is going to be special. Over 500 registrants, as of the morning, will gather to learn from some of the best urban thinkers in the world. Kansas City is stepping onto the national stage and our unique voice will be heard as we define what it means to be a New American City. From the the world’s newest cultural gem, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, it is my great honor to chair this national conversation,” said Mayor Sly James.
To find out more about The New American City, or to register to take part in this critical national dialog, you can contact the mayor’s office or go to www.cityage.org. Registrations are available throughout the weekend.
The Summit on the New American City will use the hashtag #CityAgeKC. Follow the conference on Twitter @CityAge and Mayor James @MayorSlyJames.
