The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce is proud to host the 14th edition of one of its most dynamic global platforms: The World Summit of Governors and Mayors, taking place June 26–28, 2025 in Washington, D.C.

This isn’t just another conference—it’s a strategic convergence of over 200 city leaders from across the United States and the world, all committed to building smarter, safer, and more resilient cities.

What’s on the Agenda?

The 2025 summit centers around real action: cross-border collaboration, sister-city agreements, public procurement deals, and tech-powered strategies to address everything from climate adaptation to digital governance.

Expect rich discussions and policy-driven forums covering:

  • Smart cities and solar infrastructure

  • Emergency response and climate resilience

  • Crime, public safety, and civic tech

  • Rural internet access and economic mobility

  • High-tech investment opportunities and job creation

This year’s agenda is laser-focused on helping cities prepare for tomorrow’s risks—and leverage today’s tools to rise above them.

Why Should You Be There?

Because deals get made here.

More than 30 sessions of matchmaking will bring together city leaders, global investors, philanthropic partners, and innovation-focused companies. Whether you’re looking to scale up your solutions, export to new cities, or build visibility inside key procurement channels, this summit puts you in the room with the people who can make it happen.

It’s also where governments meet capital. Expect high-level representation from 22 countries, national development banks, and global agencies ready to partner on public-private ventures.
