You can explore these topics and more at External LinkPolicy Summit 2025, set to take place in Cleveland on June 26 and 27. On the docket are presentations and conversations around:

  • increasing the supply of housing to make it more affordable (and exploring other models of homeownership)
  • asking better questions to improve local outcomes
  • understanding which workforce development policies and practices best support economic mobility
  • making big bets on communities and ensuring that these investments pay off

Every time the Cleveland Fed and its partners, including the Kansas City Fed, host Policy Summit, we attract new and returning attendees. When we asked several previous attendees if they plan to return this year, they said yes—and told us why.

“The Policy Summit offers a valuable opportunity to connect with peers and learn about best practices and emerging trends from across the country,” Bridget Back said. Back is deputy director, Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Programs, Inc., in Hazard, Kentucky. “For Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Programs, Inc., this exposure is crucial. Understanding what’s working in other regions allows us to refine our own strategies and ensure we’re employing the most effective approaches to support development and community growth in our area.”
