The C3 Summit is an annual, invitation-only experience that brings together Baton Rouge’s boldest cross-sector leaders for an afternoon of alignment, activation, and community-driven strategy.
Rooted in creativity, collaboration, and capacity, the summit is designed to strengthen the ecosystem of organizations, practitioners, and partners working to transform urban communities from within. From curated peer learning to strategic knowledge exchange, C3 is more than a convening—it’s a commitment to building the future, together.
Originally inspired by our Social Innovation Summit, C3 continues MetroMorphosis’ tradition of investing in local leadership and accelerating solutions grounded in proximity, purpose, and people.

Mapping the Future: From Projects to Partnerships
Place matters—and so do the people in it.
Baton Rouge is evolving. Infrastructure is expanding, new developments are rising, and plans are in motion to shape a more vibrant city. But growth without coordination risks deepening silos, excluding vital voices, and missing the opportunity for true transformation.
Powered by MetroMorphosis in partnership with Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation, we present C3 Summit 2025: Mapping the Future—From Projects to Partnerships. This is an invitation-only experience designed to close the gap between projects and people. This year's summit brings together place-based development drivers—those leading the work of building Baton Rouge from the ground up.
Attendees will:
- Join workshops on place-conscious development and catalytic investment
- Gain insight into initiatives shaping Baton Rouge’s future
- Participate in geographical working groups
- Contribute to a city-wide, interactive map of current and future developments
- Build a learning community of leaders committed to equity, collaboration, and impact
Leadership isn’t about top-down plans—it’s about proximity, shared vision, and co-created solutions that reflect the lived experiences of our communities.
Together, we can move from isolated progress to interconnected transformation.
