This September, we invite you to join us in Washington, DC for the 71st Annual International Downtown Association (IDA) Conference & Marketplace, co-hosted by the DowntownDC BID. From Sept. 24–27, 2025, more than 1,400 downtown and placemaking leaders will gather to explore how passion, place, and purpose interweave to shape thriving, resilient communities.
Washington, DC — where historic landmarks meet innovative neighborhoods — is the perfect stage for this year’s theme: Interwoven: The Power of Passion, Place & Purpose. Together, we’ll discover how placemaking can transform sidewalks, streets, and shared spaces into destinations where people connect and communities flourish.
At Booth 108 in the Marketplace, you’ll experience how Bigbelly solutions—from solar-powered stations to streamlined containment—elevate cleanliness, efficiency, and placemaking in 65+ countries. Our systems help create cleaner, greener, and more welcoming communities where life happens, empowering city leaders, BIDs, and municipalities to deliver exceptional downtown experiences.
