Intentionally Good Summit Vol. III | The Power of Positive Innovation

​The Intentionally Good Summit Volume III, themed "The Power of Positive Innovation," is set to be a pivotal conversation in the landscape of underrepresentation within the innovation economy. As we face concerted efforts to reverse progress in equity and inclusion, coupled with economic challenges and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. This summit aims to galvanize the collective efforts of the Goodie Nation community, bringing together founders, investors, startup coaches, tech professionals, and corporate partners. Our mission is to chart a course toward a positive innovation ecosystem that ensures equitable opportunities for all, especially those who have been historically underrepresented.

​At the core of the summit is a blend of inspiration, action, and celebration. We will hear from visionary leaders who are at the forefront of driving change, engaging in actionable panels about what our priorities and goals should look like for 2025 and beyond. This gathering is not just a series of discussions but a call to action, aiming to spark tangible, lasting impact that extends well beyond the event itself.

​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.
