Economic Mobility by Design convenes the people with
the levers, the capital, and the lived knowledge to redesign
the systems that determine who rises — and where.
Over three days in Birmingham, an invite-only cohort of decision-makers
and implementers will design real-world economic mobility interventions —
grounded in place, tested against data, and built to ship.
Birmingham is both an inheritance and a laboratory. The disparities
here are visible by the block — and so are the answers being built
in response. We host in Birmingham because what works here can
move anywhere.

The disparity areas are not categories — they are the
connective tissue of mobility. Each one is a lever; together
they are a system.
Homeownership, business ownership, and
intergenerational wealth transfer.
Move from narrative to numbers. Every decision
tested against Birmingham’s lived data.
Bring policymakers, capital, institutions, and
community to a shared table — and shared
commitments.
