What We Saw at the 2021 Festival

Check out videos from our fourth annual Ideas We Should Steal Festival presented by Comcast NBCUniversal

For the 2021 Ideas We Should Steal Festival, the Citizen looked across the country for the ideas, leaders, change-makers and innovations that are transforming cities in America to optimize Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Prosperity.

We brought them to Philadelphia’s Fitler Club on Monday, December 13 and Tuesday December 14. Check out our nine big takeaways from the day here. And scroll below to see videos of each panel.
