2018 Inner City 100 Conference and Awards

The Inner City 100, a program of the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), spotlights the 100 fastest-growing companies located in America's inner cities. The program culminates with the annual Inner City 100 Conference and Awards where winning companies gather for a full day of management education and an unveiling of the Inner City 100 rankings. The list is also published annually in FORTUNE. Inner City 100 companies create three times more new jobs for inner-city residents compared to businesses located elsewhere in the region. The nearly 1,000 Inner City 100 firms that we have recognized since 1999 have created 126,279 jobs. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Inner City 100, at which we will be joined by national thought and practice leaders in the small business space including Deval Patrick, Karen Mills, Richelieu Dennis, Catherine Pugh, Mark Kramer, and Michael Porter.
