Recently named one of Forbes's Five Social Impact Conferences Guaranteed To Inspire You, the Social Good Summit is the one place granting everyday activists access to some of the world's most progressive thought leaders as they discuss issues affecting the connected generation. Aduba, Heard, and Lakshmi will join other activists and world leaders on Sept. 23 in New York City to discuss how the global community can work together to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goalsby the year 2030.
The deadline for goal achievement is fast approaching, which is why the Summit’s hashtag, #2030NOW, is not just a tagline, but a message: What can we do today to change the world for the year 2030?
The stories and experiences our speakers bring to the Summit stage, like the Global Goals themselves, are interconnected. An effect on one has an effect on them all. As we apply forward-thinking solutions to today's global challenges, we must ensure that no one gets left behind.
So we invite you to take part in the #2030NOW conversation IRL. General admission and student tickets are now available; and with the growing lineup of speakers we have in store, you’ll want to make sure you’re in attendance.
