CityCamp Philly 2026

Join a community of neighbors, public servants, technologists, and other engaged Philadelphians, for an event where who shows up decides what gets talked about. BUY YOUR TICKET HERE: CityCamp Philly is a participant-led *unconference* centered on one question: *How can we make daily life better for the people of Philadelphia?* Unlike a traditional conference, there will be no fixed sessions planned in advance. Instead, the people who attend will shape the conversations and activities throughout the day. Sessions can focus on many different ideas, needs, or challenges. They might explore art, healthcare, democracy, public spaces, emergency planning, or something else. The key is that each session should focus on improving daily life for people in Philadelphia. Examples could be: * Ants and Parks: Educating Philly about Public Park Ecosystems * How Can OpenDataPhilly Help SEPTA? * Building a Multiracial, Intergenerational Community Arts Space: Challenges and Tools * Weird Philly Pop Up Micro-Museum Ideas: A Brainstorm! CityCamp Philly is meant to lead to collaboration and action. Sessions will not be formal presentations. They will give people a chance to share ideas, meet possible partners, work through a challenge, or begin building and testing an idea together.
