It'd be nice to meet you.
Miami Brain Trust
Miami has a long legacy of reinvention. It is a place where citizens of many cultures have been able to set aside their fears and come together to create a better future for themselves and each other. And so on February 3, 2011, CEOs for Cities and Florida International University will host RE:VISION MIAMI, an exclusive cross-sector convening of local thinkers, dreamers and doers whose collective and catalytic leadership is transforming Miami in the 21st century.
The theme will be optimism, and the challenge will be to harness that optimism to achieve big ambitions for Miami set forth in the US Initiative:
• Opportunity: We can develop all of our talents and put them to use.
• Livability: We can have access to beauty, in the form of art, good design and nature every day.
• Connectivity: We can meet our daily needs without owning a car.
• Community: We can engage in a robust public life.
A short video overview on the ambitions of the US Initiative can be viewed here.
The Miami Brain Trust is by invitation only and will take place at the spectacular, Frank Gehry-designed New World Symphony building.
Results of the Miami Brain Trust will be published nationally in a book generously underwritten by The Rockefeller Foundation and promoted on a national tour in 2012.
