Sharonville, OH: 2026 OCMA Annual Conference

Join Chuck Marohn, founder of Strong Towns, at the 2026 OCMA Annual Conference for a keynote presentation that challenges the way cities plan, invest, and grow. Marohn will explore why cities are the highest form of human collaboration—and how lasting progress happens when we empower local leaders, public servants, and residents to take action from the bottom up. Drawing from The Bottom-Up Revolution, he’ll share practical, actionable steps that help communities move beyond big, top-down programs and instead focus on small, incremental investments that build real capacity, wealth, and resilience over time.

Discover how thinking and acting at the neighborhood scale can lead to stronger public trust, better financial outcomes, and meaningful change—one small step at a time.
