The intersection of technology and new media has redefined our understanding of human progress. In the midst of this rapidly changing world, the Social Good Summit focuses on where we’re headed. Held annually, the Summit unites a lively community of change-makers and progressive thought leaders around a common theme: #2030NOW. A dynamic exploration of the world we want to live in by 2030, the Social Good Summit will focus on how we can unlock technology’s potential to make the world a better place.
The Social Good Summit is a global conference where the impact of technology and the new media is discussed in social good initiatives. Global leaders and civil society activists come together at Social Good Summit held in New York, Istanbul and in various cities around the world every year from the end of September and talk about solutions for the most important challenges of today's world. With the #2030NOW hashtag we are asking the following question: "What kind of a world do I want to live in 2030?"
