CALL FOR 2023 PRESENTERS NOW OPEN!







What’s Next for Philly?

Whether it’s your grand vision for the whole city, or specific plans for that part you know best, we want to hear where you see Philly going – and where you want to take it! We’ve heard about revitalizing old neighborhood institutions, learned about exciting new programs in Philly schools, and gushed over a fantasy transit map. Be one of the emerging voices at the 12th installment of Fast Forward >> Philly during the DesignPhiladelphia festival. We want to give your big ideas an audience, Philadelphia!


Fast Forward >> Open Call for Presenters

We are looking for presenters from various creative backgrounds to take on one burning question, 

“What’s next for Philly?” in 20 slides, 20 seconds each - no more, no less.
