IAC Building, NYC ______________________________ At times, these days, it feels like our country is hopelessly divided – across political parties, geography and other distinctions. How can we build bridges of respect, trust, empathy and unity among difference? MORNING SESSIONS REGISTRATION + BREAKFAST WELCOME REMARKS IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Meg Garlinghouse (LinkedIn for Good) PANEL: BRIDGING DIFFERENCE ACROSS DIVIDES featuring Jonathan Haidt (Best-selling Author of The Righteous Mind) and Amanda Ripley (Best-selling Author and Columnist, NYT and The Atlantic) At times, these days, it feels like our country is hopelessly divided – across political parties, geography and other distinctions. How can we build bridges of respect, trust, empathy and unity among difference? SIGNATURE CONVERSATIONS: BUILDING TRUST IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Anne Marie Dougherty (Bob Woodruff Foundation) PANEL: INNOVATIVE LEARNING: EDUCATION + TECHNOLOGY featuring Charles Best (DonorsChoose) and Rose Kirk (Verizon) There are over four million available jobs in science and technology, but millions of kids will have trouble competing for them because they lack access to technology and tech education. How can we plant seeds of empowerment by broadening opportunities to kids who don’t have that access today? MORNING BREAK PANEL: ENTREPRENEURSHIP RENAISSANCE + ECONOMIC DYNAMISM featuring Steve Case (Revolution) and Larry Jacob (Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation) At a time when many Americans are impacted by the decline of economic dynamism, we’ll talk to one of America’s most prominent entrepreneurs and investors who is on a crusade to advance entrepreneurship in our country’s forgotten corners and restore the promise of the American dream. IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Aaron Huey (Amplifier) IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Jeff Clements (American Promise) PANEL: INNOVATIONS IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE featuring Priyanka Bakaya (Renewlogy), Jacob Lewandowski (d.light), Patricia Markman-Compas, (DayOne Response) and Dawn Mercer (Toyota Motor North America) The environmental clock is ticking – and speeding up, even as our current federal policy is moving against effectively addressing climate change. What can we learn from some of the most creative and innovative private sector solutions – and the entrepreneurs and inventors behind them? LUNCH + NETWORKING AFTERNOON SESSIONS IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Jean Horstman (Interise) PANEL: FUTURE OF WORK + EXPANDING ACCESS FOR ALL featuring Amy Goldstein (Author of Janesville: An American Story) and Byron Auguste (Opportunity@Work) How can we recover from de-industrialization and best prepare for the challenges that automation will present to our workforce in the years to come? How can we get to a future where every American has access to a decent job and the American dream? IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Tulaine Montgomery (New Profit) PANEL: REVOLUTIONIZING SYSTEMS FOR JUSTICE featuring Arne Duncan (Former United States Secretary of Education) In America’s highest crime neighborhoods, the drug and gang economy sometimes appears as the only viable source of income. This leads to endemic gun violence and too many young men falling into crime and getting trapped in the criminal justice system. We’ll speak with one of our country’s most admired leaders in education, who is currently pioneering a radical new program that is working to upend that cycle of devastation and plant seeds of opportunity. SIGNATURE CONVERSATIONS: SOCIAL + ECONOMIC JUSTICE AFTERNOON BREAK PANEL: AMERICA IN THE WORLD featuring Samantha Power (Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations) and Nick Thompson (Wired Magazine) America’s role in the world is changing dramatically before our eyes. We’ll talk with one of our country’s most dynamic diplomats and foreign policy experts about what this means for the future of our country – and about what we as citizens can do to chart the best course forward. IMPACT SPOTLIGHT featuring Mark Edwards (Upstream) PANEL: MOONSHOTS FOR OPPORTUNITY + ACCESS featuring Gerald Chertavian (Year Up) and Nancy Roob (Edna McConnell Clark Foundation) For too long, we have been mortgaging millions of of our young people to futures without hope of opportunity and advancement. We’ll talk with two bold pioneers who are working to turn the dream of ensuring that every American has the opportunity to realize their full potential into a reality. COCKTAIL RECEPTION + NETWORKING Agenda subject to change. Session timings will be confirmed shortly. WHEN & WHERE Thursday, November 15, 2018 8:30 A.M. – 7:00 P.M.
