The Mayors’ Forum is an opportunity for elected government leaders to come together and share their insights, discuss trends and issues facing their cities and develop solutions to promote growth and prosperity in cities. Participants will develop their own global network of influential peers and learn the latest trends and opportunities in city management.
Key achievements, outcomes and strategic objectives of the Mayors’ Forum are summarised in the Mayors’ Accord, which is presented to all delegates on the final day of the Summit and is signed by all participants.
