An Inspiring Evening of Celebration, Connection, and Community Impact

Join us for Leverage 2026, the Community Design Collaborative’s signature celebration of the power of design to shape more vibrant, equitable neighborhoods across Philadelphia.

This special evening brings together leaders in architecture, design, development, and community building for a night of connection, storytelling, and inspiration. Guests will enjoy delicious bites and drinks, mingling and special messages, immersive design displays, and well-deserved merriment.

This year’s theme, 35 Years of Design, Partnership, and Possibility, reflects on 35 years of demonstrating that when communities lead and designers listen, power, equity, and lasting change can be built—together. Your ticket supports the Collaborative’s mission to turn community visions into design solutions.
