Bringing together thought-leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs and yourself to advance action for those who need it most.
The aim is simple, to find out who is doing what and to learn how we can help. All too often important projects falter due to a lack of funding, mentorship and motivation. Collectively we can create a platform for change, welcoming everyone to contribute to our world's most pressing challenges.
Join us for a creative evening of ideas and solutions!
