City Nation Place Americas

Save the dates!

June 9th & 10th, 2027

We’re delighted to announce that the 11th City Nation Place Americas conference will take place in Toronto on June 9th & 10th.  We look forward to working with our host partners, Destination Toronto and Toronto Global, to ensure that our delegates have opportunities to experience and learn about the major placemaking projects that are transforming the city’s skyline, waterfront, and communities.  And of course, we’ll be building a conference agenda that will speak to the opportunities and challenges that place leadership, destination marketing, and economic development teams are facing up to across the USA and Canada.  Watch this space for opportunities to help us shape the conference to meet your own objectives and, if you’d like to nominate a speaker or place story, please get in touch.
