NYC Summit 2024: State of the Effect
Please join us for...
EQUITY IN ACTION:
CONNECTING THE DOTS BETWEEN OWNING ‘EQUITY’ AND CREATING ‘EQUITY’
This year, our Summit will focus on identifying barriers to progress in Climate, Health, and Future of Work and how building diverse leadership pipelines, creating opportunities for equity ownership, and leveraging technology, education, and AI can help break these barriers and create equity.
In our keynote conversation with the Education GTM lead at OpenAI, we’ll explore the transformative potential of AI to break down barriers and create equity in healthcare, climate, governance, education, and the future of work
Inspiring this Summit is the belief that building diverse leadership pipelines and creating opportunities for equity ownership today is an important part of paving the way for equitable solutions that will unlock real progress tomorrow. In order for technology, education and AI to be effective accelerants, we can't afford to leave so much human capital on the table!
By asking ourselves ‘what can we do today as business leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to create equity tomorrow?’ we’ll uncover how we can make these ideas actionable in Climate Tech, Health Equity, and the Future of Work.
This is the systemic change we need, and it starts now.
