A Conference Co-Hosted by Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson and the Cleveland
Public Library & Cuyahoga County Commissioners Jimmy Dimora, Timothy F.

New waves of immigration are mixing up the demographics of cities and suburbs. Globalization is changing the way we do business. Technology is altering the ways we learn and communicate. How are cities and counties seizing new opportunities? What are the impacts on politics? Commerce? Health care? Education? Community development? Take this opportunity to join city and county political leaders, library directors and library trustees to share experiences, reconsider assets, and invent new strategies for a world that is rapidly blurring the boundaries of local and global.
