Project for Public Spaces’ 12th International Public Markets Conference took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 12-14, and was co-hosted by the Milwaukee Public Market. Over 250 attendees from around the world gathered in the Culinary Capital of the Midwest to explore many of the most pressing issues in the public markets field today, including combating social isolation, building local economies and food systems, and so much more.
The 12th International Public Markets Conference in Milwaukee celebrated the power of markets to build vibrant, inclusive communities, beginning with a mayoral proclamation of June 12, 2025, as International Public Markets Day. Over three days, more than 250 attendees participated in panels, mobile workshops, and breakout sessions exploring topics like sustainability, equity, public space design, and market management. Speakers from across the globe, including experts from London, Chicago, and Seattle, shared innovative strategies and case studies, while local tours highlighted Wisconsin’s dynamic market culture. The event concluded with a lively celebration and a strong sense of global solidarity, showcasing the lasting economic and social value of public markets.
We’re thrilled to share our Conference Report—take a look into our three-day event, complete with a fun highlight video and photo gallery!
