Momentum 2009 brings together a group of 300 dynamic participants comprised of forward-thinking activists, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs. The issues that face society today defy simple solutions. Only by understanding how our issues and work are interconnected can we hope to create the change that is needed for a healthy, just and vibrant world.

Momentum is more than a conference – it is a creative space, an opportunity for connection, and a place where boundaries are broken and bridges are built. At Momentum, the best new thinking provokes conversation, invites debate, and inspires leaders to view their work through new lenses all the while forging dynamic new relationships. Please join us.
