Phoenix Community Alliance

Phoenix Community Alliance and EPAM Global brought together some of the Valley's most impactful leaders this week for an evening that was equal parts inspiring and actionable, and a global technology company with more than 50,000 experts across 30 countries made one thing clear: their next chapter in North America starts right here in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

The confirmation came from Dr. Panch, former Director of the United States National Science Foundation and current University Professor of Technology and Innovation at Arizona State University who stood on the stage at the Herberger Theater Center and said what many of us already feel but rarely hear at that level: Phoenix is one of the most uniquely positioned innovation ecosystems on the planet.

From Dr. Panch's global framework to the on-the-ground insights of panelists like PCA Member Paul Rivers, Chief Innovation Officer for Player 15 Group, the evening made one thing clear: the ingredients for something extraordinary are already here, and the world is starting to take notice. 🌆

Thank you for your collaboration on this amazing event, EPAM!

Tomorrow, the people building Downtown Phoenix's next decade take the stage, and we want you in the room. 🏙️

Downtown Phoenix is rising and on Thursday, May 14, you'll see exactly how. 🏙️

We're bringing the most exciting projects shaping Greater Downtown Phoenix to one stage at the Herberger Theater Center, told directly by the developers, visionaries, and construction companies actually building them.

This isn't your typical panel. We're flipping the script with a rapid-fire showcase — fresh renderings, project timelines, and real answers to your questions, straight from the people doing the work.

And the setting? One you won't forget. In partnership with Herberger Theater Center, we're taking over Center Stage, with attendees seated on the stage itself and the full theater in view. Intimate, immersive, and unlike anything we've done before.

📅 Thursday, May 14
🕚 11:00 a.m.
🥗 Lunch provided
🅿️ Complimentary parking validation at Chase Tower Garage (201 N 1st St.), courtesy of ACE Parking
