Friendship Monday: Your Skoll Week Warm-Up

​Before the panels, keynotes, and packed agendas—you need people in your corner.

​That’s why we’re opening The Sidebar early this year. Friendship Monday is your opportunity to step into Skoll Week with confidence, community, and connection.

​Come by to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and set the tone for the week ahead. Whether you’re here for the first time or the tenth, this space is for you. We’ll be doing some light prep, swapping tips, sharing goals—and maybe even enjoying a little music in the evening.

​Because the truth is:

• ​Conferences are better when you have friends in the room

• ​You need people to stand with, advocate for you, celebrate your wins—and catch you when things don’t go to plan

• ​Community turns nerves into confidence

​What to Expect:

• ​An informal, open gathering all day Monday

• ​A welcoming space to connect, share your goals, and form your Skoll Week crew

• ​Opportunities to help each other navigate the week with purpose

​Bring your questions, your energy, and your curiosity. We’ll bring the snacks and the good vibes.

​Let’s kick off Skoll Week together—as friends.
