USC Builds will proudly host the first-ever Revitalize & Innovate Symposium—a landmark two-day gathering that brings together visionary developers, influential community innovators and impactful social leaders from across the country to address one urgent question: How do we build vibrant, inclusive and economically resilient communities?

Sponsored by the City of Rochester, this inaugural event offers a powerful platform to share bold ideas, showcase transformative development projects—from D.C., Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Rochester and beyond—and spark strategic partnerships that drive sustainable and inclusive community growth.
