About the Theme: Imagine That
The theme music for this year's summit, "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" by Nas, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of our conversations. The song’s aspirational lyrics and vision of a world where equity and justice prevail resonate deeply with our goal of creating a positive, inclusive innovation ecosystem. As we imagine and work towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, the anthem serves as a powerful reminder of the possibilities that lie ahead when we unite to make intentional, impactful change. This alignment of music and mission underscores the summit's dedication to imagining and building a better, more inclusive future for all.
