This headline event, located in the finance capital of the world, provides a unique opportunity to tap into the vibrant ecosystem of capital for impact through the lens of philanthropy, impact investing, ESG, social and environmental ventures, and companies. Social and environmental impact leaders in business, government, nonprofit, and philanthropy explore how they are changing the way capital is sourced and used to generate sustainable solutions to global, systemic challenges. Students learn about opportunities to pursue impact careers on both the financing and implementation of capital for good.

Speakers catalyze conversations of change and embolden a generation to create a world in which everyone has the equal opportunity to succeed in creating a better life, society, and environment, now and for generations to come.
