Register now for an exciting day of learning, connecting and community conversation. The City’s free Community Connections Conference May 21 connects residents of Minneapolis, community groups, neighborhoods and local government. This year’s conference theme is “forward together,” welcoming all communities to reconnect with the City and get involved in moving Minneapolis forward.
The conference will offer:

The Green Zone Summit programming during this year’s conference will include sessions about environmental justice, the Minneapolis Climate Action Plan, urban agriculture, green workforce, zero waste and air pollution.
- Multilingual community conversation sessions on community safety, youth, housing, small business and local government.
- A panel on aging and older adults.
- Free food.
- Performances by local artists.
- Kids activities.
