Most Philadelphians walk above the Center City Concourse every day without realizing that this essential network is quietly connecting thousands of people beneath the surface. The best parts of our city are often hidden, which is exactly why GPLEX takes participants beyond traditional conference rooms and into the vital infrastructure that makes Philadelphia work.

Applications for GPLEX 2026 are now open, offering you the chance to explore the region from the inside out and connect with the leaders shaping its future. Apply today at economyleague.org/GPLEX2026 and tell us in the comments: what is the most underrated place in Philadelphia?

Before you click “Buy Now,” ask yourself if you could support a Philadelphia business instead because where your dollar goes truly matters. Every purchase keeps local jobs, empowers entrepreneurs, and strengthens the neighborhoods we call home. Let’s work together to build a stronger Greater Philadelphia, one purchase at a time.

Not everyone gets this view.

Not everyone gets the behind the scenes view of the conversations and collaborations shaping our region, because this level of access isn’t something you can just Google it has to be earned. We are now inviting former GPLEXers from organizations with less than $2 million in revenue to step through the gate as GPLEX Ambassadors and gain early access to the relationships that move our region forward. This cohort is intentionally limited, ensuring that the experience remains exclusive and uniquely valuable for those ready to lead. GPLEX 2026 is coming home to Philadelphia, so the question is: will you be one of the influential leaders in the room?

Apply now: economyleague.org/GPLEX2026

Are you planning to reach out to specific leaders in your network to encourage them to apply for this Ambassador cohort?

A Philadelphia homeowner bought a house for $50,000, yet thirty years later, the value has barely moved while property values just a few neighborhoods away have doubled. This is more than just a housing story; it is a wealth story, as 72 years of data reveals that race remains one of the strongest predictors of who benefits from property appreciation. For most families, a home is their largest asset and the primary vehicle for building and passing on generational wealth, meaning these uneven growth patterns directly dictate who has access to economic opportunity. The question is no longer whether these disparities exist, but what we will do to address them; learn more about the Fair City Challenge here: https://www.economyleague.org/faircity.

What specific policy changes or community initiatives do you believe are most critical to closing the housing wealth gap in Philadelphia?

You play here.

Philadelphia is so much more than just the backdrop for GPLEX 2026, serving as a living classroom where 200 leaders step out of conference rooms and into the experiences shaping our future. This curated cohort offers uncommon access to the conversations and relationships that transform ideas into real, lasting action. With GPLEX 2026 returning home, the question isn’t whether this experience will be transformational, but whether you will be in the room to participate.

Applications are closing soon, so take the next step and apply today at economyleague.org/GPLEX2026.

The easy money is gone.

The era of easy money is behind us, and many regions are now facing the reality of tighter budgets, rising costs, and slower revenue growth. Because critical investments in workforce development, housing, and infrastructure must now occur within these financial constraints, our biggest challenge is learning how to do more with less. As the need for regional investment continues to outpace available resources, we must critically evaluate how we prioritize our future.

While many assume economic growth is reserved for the boardroom, it often begins with a single conversation that bridges two people who might never have met. These simple introductions are the seeds of stronger networks, helping to advance careers and build a more resilient region. This week, we challenge you to make one introduction, as you never know what doors might open or partnerships might form. A small action today can create a significant, lasting impact on our community, so who will you connect?

An empty playground tells a story that goes beyond childhood, speaking volumes about the barriers and opportunities defining our city’s future. With 1 in 5 Philadelphians currently living in poverty, we must look closer at the systemic challenges from housing to education that shape these disparities. Our latest research from the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia explores the reality behind the statistics and identifies the pathways necessary to build a more equitable city.
