Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega will join hundreds of mayors from the United States and around the world at Bloomberg CityLab 2023, a global cities summit organized by Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the Aspen Institute, Oct. 18-20 in Washington, D.C.

Bloomberg CityLab 2023 will convene more than 500 mayors and leading urban and civic leaders, from policymakers to creatives. Together they will share and explore new ideas and urban interventions that are being pressure-tested in the present and will impact the future of cities – where more than half the world’s population lives.

Mayor Ortega is attending Bloomberg CityLab at no cost thanks to the generosity of Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Programming includes largest-ever Mayors Innovation Studio, focused on accelerating the usage of generative artificial intelligence to improve public services, and a Special Infrastructure and Chief Innovators Studio to unleash new approaches for implementing once-in-a-generation funding for communities.
