Program
Three days,
one conversation.
An opening Friday afternoon, a full Saturday of sessions and panels, breakouts and dinners, and a closing Sunday morning.
The Summit runs Friday afternoon to Sunday noon. Friday opens the conversation; Saturday is a full day of keynotes, panels, and breakouts across every field that builds the future; Sunday closes with reflection and where the work goes next. Evenings are for dinners and the network -- half the point of being in the room.
