Liberal Mayors Network
Building Europe from the bottom up.
The Mission
The Liberal Mayors Network facilitates collaboration and idea exchange between mayors to address common challenges. Our flagship event, the Liberal Mayors Summit, usually held annually alongside the ALDE Party Congress, provides a platform for in-depth discussions on pressing issues such as housing shortages. By gathering and sharing evidence from the ground, the network enhances the political efforts of the Renew Europe group and provides EU decision-makers with valuable insights for effective policymaking.
Join the Network
The next summit will take place in October 2025, alongside the ALDE Party Congress.
With hundreds of liberal mayors already part of this growing community, places are limited — don’t miss the opportunity to connect with peers shaping Europe’s future. Join the network today and ensure your city’s voice is heard at the European level.
