Social Impact Summit 2021
Social Innovation Summit 2021 will be held virtually on June 8-10, bringing together the top leaders from around the world for a unique series of discussions, debates and networking opportunities. Each session included a different combination of speakers, formats, workshops, breakouts, networking opportunities, and VIP Sessions focused on a specific social impact theme: Responsible Leadership in Times of Crisis; COVID Relief; Economic Empowerment & The Future of Work; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging; Impact Investing, SDGs, & Philanthropy; Mental Health and Wellness; and Education, Youth & Next Gen Learning.
The Social Innovation Summit is an annual event that represents a global convening of black swans and wayward thinkers. Where most bring together luminaries to explore the next big idea, we bring together those hungry not just to talk about the next big thing, but to build it.
Social Innovation Summit has always prided ourselves on being a community of people who are motivated to take action. In this time of crisis, our network can rise to the occasion and we can serve as the virtual convening place where the most important conversations take place for vital partnerships to be quickly developed and quickly engaged.
