A Conference for Local Change Agents

National Innovative Communities Conference

June 3-4

Riverside Convention Center

An annual convention that focuses on regional innovation and improving quality of life in local communities. With over 500 leaders from government, business, education, and healthcare attending each year, the event offers two days of networking, idea generation, and practical training to enhance quality of life for all stakeholders.

In commemoration of our 15th year hosting NICC, this year’s theme, GENERATIONS, honors the legacy of changemakers past and present, while embracing the generational opportunity to chart a shared vision for the future of the fastest growing region in California: our Inland Empire. From developing our future workforce and the built environment to protecting the civil rights of all of our diverse community members, attendees will be united across cultures, age, and industries to tackle the most pressing questions of our time, charting the path forward to a safe, healthy, and prosperous Inland Empire.
