16th Annual Community Development Summit

The 16th Annual Community Development Summit, hosted annually by Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group in conjunction with the Urban Land Institute - Pittsburgh District Council, is the premier regional conference covering community development topics. Our two-day event showcases PCRG’s work with and on behalf of our 60+ members and highlights the latest community development techniques. Attendees gain exposure to industry best practices and national trends, develop tactics to enhance the quality of life of those they serve, and dive deeply into sessions that discuss how communities are creating cross-sector partnerships for lasting, inclusive change. This year’s Conference will continue to explore “Equity in Action”.

Call for Session Proposals

PCRG’s Community Development Summit brings together nonprofit leaders, funders, developers, advocates, policymakers, and residents to share what’s working — and what’s not. We’re looking for sessions that show how equity is put into practice, not just talked about.

What We’re Looking For

Sessions that:

• Share real-world lessons learned

• Offer practical tools and strategies

• Reflect diverse voices and experiences

• Can be adapted or replicated elsewhere

Successes and challenges welcome.
