This year's symposium:
The global community is changing faster than ever with political, social, and technological advancements bolstering more attention and action to overcoming global inequities. These trends toward more equitable representation in leadership, business, and media are empowering historically marginalized communities, advancing progress toward a more sustainable, collective future.
With women, LGBTQIA+ persons, people of color, people of different abilities, and youth as the world’s changemakers, this collective future is closer than we think—it’s here. The future is now. How do we continue to foster progress and promote equity across sectors? How do we ensure the brightest future for all people?
