SAVE THE DATE: JUNE 3-5, 2020

Since 2015, the Pritzker Forum on Global Cities, cohosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Financial Times, has featured a unique cross-disciplinary dialogue to examine strategic and effective policy interventions cities can use to address the world’s most pressing challenges. Now in our 6th year, the focus of the 2020 Pritzker Forum will be the intersection between cities and migration; how cities are grappling with global migration trends, coordinating with national-level policies, and responding to new realities.
