The City Club of Cleveland is a civic and social organization based in Cleveland, Ohio, that serves the region with programs that convene leaders, engage citizens, and foster dialogue on issues shaping the future. Its mission is to create conversations of consequence that help democracy thrive, and it envisions communities that value freedom of speech and civil dialogue. The club operates as a non-partisan forum and does not take positions on issues. Each forum lasts about an hour, beginning with a brief introduction, followed by a 25-30 minute address and a final half hour of unfiltered audience questions. It is recognized as the longest uninterrupted free speech forum series in the country, with a tradition of vigorous debate and open exchange. In May 2026, the CREW Foundation partnered with City Club to host a forum on Innovation in Opera.
