Annual WCCP Summit

Each year the World Class Cities Partnership convenes representatives from each partner city for an annual review and planning meeting – the WCCP Summit. The objective of the Summit is to examine the findings of the past year’s research, explore opportunities to publish and promote the work done by the WCCP network and to select a focused research agenda for the following year. WCCP’s research agenda is driven and decided by the entire Partnership.

The Summit is held each year in one of the WCCP partner cities. Participants have an opportunity to see, sometimes for the first time, a partner city first hand. This serves to bring the network closer together and facilitates easier research and communication across the Partnership.
