- **Andreas Addison** — CEO, Founder

America turns 250 next year, but the original American Dream is broken and outdated. If Singapore can build for efficiency and Copenhagen for equity, what would an American city of the future look like? Civic Innovator founder Andreas Addison invites attendees into a real-time design challenge to reimagine the American Dream for the next 250 years. Grounded in personal story, Brookings research, and proven civic wins from working in City Hall to serving on City Council, this talk introduces a 7-step Civic Innovation process to help cities design for impact with new systems that work for us.
