2023-2024 Programming
Monthly First Friday Roundtables
Virtual convenings on certain topic areas such data governance,
community engagement, climate change and decarbonization. Each organization will have 4 minutes to talk about what they are doing, and we’ll end with a facilitated Q+A between members.
Student Programming
MetroLab is growing our programming to serve member students directly. This includes a student prize competition, awarding a cash prize to students who are working on projects to better their local community, as well as highlighting and matchmaking opportunities for internships and fellowships.
Policy Taskforce
We are creating a policy task force on key focus areas. The goal is to publish best practices and policy models, reviewed by local government and academia at a national level. MetroLab will staff this effort, hosting quarterly meetings.
Matchmaking
MetroLab is available to match and connect local government and universities/colleges across the country to collaborate on research needs with specific expertise.
Member Dial-Ins
MetroLab leadership will meet with you 1×1, twice a year. This will help us better support you and amplify your accomplishments..
Strategic Partnerships
MetroLab has a number of member and affiliate exclusive strategic opportunities.
Our 1st member-only opportunity with INRIX is now closed. Stay tuned for updates on that effort and future partneships.
