Reinventing Our Communities: Investing in Opportunity (ROC) 2018 | Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia | 1 October 2018 | Hilton Baltimore, 401 W Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21201, USA

Investing in people, places, and communities can produce positive returns and increase access to resources that create economic growth and prosperity. Check out the conference agenda to see the lineup of plenaries and workshops in which you will learn about effective strategies for building and mobilizing four forms of capital — financial, human, physical, and social — to create opportunity in your communities.

This year’s event is cosponsored by the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Richmond, and Johns Hopkins 21st Century Cities Initiative (21CC). 21CC is incorporating its annual gathering on cities, the 21st Century Neighborhoods Symposium, held in the fall in Baltimore, into this year's Reinventing Our Communities conference.
