Each year Net Impact brings current and aspiring leaders together for a dynamic exchange of ideas about how we can work together to tackle our toughest social and environmental problems. Today’s challenges are more complex than any one person or organization can solve, requiring us to collaborate on innovative solutions.

This year, at the 2018 Net Impact Conference in Phoenix, AZ from October 25-27, we’re taking it a step further with the theme “Outside the Lines.” The event will explore examples of transformational change that defy traditional expectations. We’ll dive deep into bold new trends and practices that challenge conventional wisdom, break barriers, and enable us to change the world. We will give you the skills, experience,s and connections so that you can have the greatest impact now and throughout your career.

Who Attends

NI18 brings together in one space the brightest, most enthusiastic, and innovative impact leaders from around the world. The conference is a unique experience that not only guides, but encourages university students, new graduates, and more established professionals to connect and share ideas about what works, potential career paths, and forward-looking innovations. Many of our conference attendees stay engaged throughout the year by joining one of our local chapters, participating in Net Impact programs, and attending our local event series, NI Local.

Philanthropists, impact investors, and social investors are already working with government policymakers, the corporate sector, and civil society groups around the world to better understand how to shift capital flows for radically more effective social impact, developing new approaches to philanthropy that combine innovations and approaches from across sectors and investment models. As innovative social investing approaches continue to emerge, there are new opportunities to understand global trends; enhance cross-border, collaborative exchange; and compare philanthropic and impact investing models across disciplines and institutions.

AVPN and Salzburg Global Seminar will convene a globally diverse group of foundations and social investors to exchange strategies for addressing global challenges, enhancing collaboration, exploring effective talent management approaches, and offering greater opportunities for investments that offer longer-term and deeper opportunities for impact. The program will include individuals and organizations from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, and will be designed to highlight new approaches to generate impact in line with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The program will combine plenary discussions and small-group workshops to inspire, equip, and enable participants to develop commitments to action, take back practical lessons and toolkits, and apply them to their own organizations.
