The Welcoming Interactive is one of the nation’s largest gatherings of public and private sector leaders working to create more inclusive and equitable communities for everyone, including immigrants. It delves into the successful practices, partnerships, and policies in immigrant inclusion—including economic development, connected communities, civic engagement, government leadership, and more.
Attendees will learn about other communities’ local innovations and come away with new ideas and energy to take back home, and explore critical issues like how to navigate changes at the federal level and how to counter hate.
The Welcoming Interactive has always been anchored and co-hosted by the local city where the
conference is situated. The City of Charlotte plays a vital role in immigrant inclusion work in the
South, and carrying the voice of local leaders and organizations in Charlotte and the region at
large. We are excited to host this important convening with them.
Welcoming America inspires people to build a different kind of community — one that
embraces immigrants and fosters opportunity for all. We are leading a
movement of inclusive communities across the nation becoming more prosperous by making everyone who lives there feel like
they belong.

The Welcoming Interactive will be held at the Marriott
City Center, in the heart of diverse, downtown
Charlotte. Receptions and meetings will also take
place in the city core: the Wells Fargo Atrium, the
Mint, Foundation for the Carolinas, and more.
Reflecting a diversity of identities, cultures, and backgrounds, our 400+
attendees from local government, business and NGOs offer an opportunity for
business and organizations to develop relationships and support diversity and
inclusion.
The Welcoming Interactive equips local communities with resources, tools,
networking, and best practices that they will use to positively impact the lives of
