Our panel wil l serve as a launch-pad for a global movement, a platform for compassion in action using stories of empathy and resi l ience to inspire givers from all around the world--especially young philanthropists, humanitarians, and social entrepreneurs-- to dedicate their l ives in service to a goal larger than themselves. Our dialogue wil l be provocative and heart-felt addressing the causes and condit ions of suffering in our world such as war, economic disparity, lack of access to clean water, poverty, and the disenfranchisement of women, and how WE can collectively r ise to address and solve these global grand challenges.

In 2000, the international community came together and established the Mil lennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight concrete resolutions to end inequality and create a better world by the year 2015. In the years since this commitment, tremendous progress has been made toward accomplishing the MDGs, and as the world looks to the next 15 years, there is the potential for much more to be achieved through the establishment of a bold new development agenda. This breakout session wil l explore how individuals l ike YOU wil l be vital towards creating this agenda, ensuring that you have a say in the world you want to l ive in, and supporting the UN in i ts efforts to get to #2030now.

People are mult iplying but resources are not. As we approach eight bi l l ion people on the pl anet, i t ’s clear that how the world consumes today wil l not be sustainable for much longer. In recent years, we’ve seen the r ise of ethical business (Ex: TOMS, Warby Parker) , 3-D Print ing innovations in manufacturing, and the emergence of the sharing economy transforming ownership and micro-work (ex: AirBnB, Uber) . The combination of these game changing technologies wil l make up the future of consumption. Perhaps they wil l also al low for a shift towards a modern consumer l i festyle that is cal ibrated with the pl anet. Join us for a discussion of what that might look l ike.

At the end of October 2013, a group of 20 eminent women leaders from al l continents – each one a special ist in her discipl ine - economics, governance, education, environment, science, business, arts, media, indigenous cultures or rel igion – met in a Quaker manor house in the UK over the course of f ive intensely packed days. The group’s purpose was to ref lect on the state of the world and begin to design an emerging future, with the intention of imagining the contours of a world that would benefit al l l iv ing beings and be harmonious with the needs of the pl anet. Rather than an exercise in utopianism, this was rooted in individuals’ expert ise garnered from leadership in some of the most violent and challenging parts of the world: Palest ine, Zimbabwe, South Afr ica, Georgia, India, China, Lebanon, and Syria. The global init iat ive now developing explores pragmatic possibi l i t ies for a world where decision-making is based on more humane values than those that dominated the 20th century. Ours is a cal l to action, a cal l to develop and use the inner power and self knowledge that can ensure that the outer actions we undertake are effective in creating a world that works for al l . This conversation wil l explore some of the programs and models the emergent group, Rising Women Rising World is developing with mil lenials, art ists, phi l anthropists, entrepreneurs and educators, and invite al l of us to get involved.

Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for. - Victor FranklOften, societal and cultural paradigms celebrate and promote image and surface-level real i t ies to the detr iment of meaning , and deeper purpose. Popul ar Culture is an agreement that we consciously or unconsciously opt in to in order to rel ate to each other . I t connects us in so many ways; shared sets of stor ies, ideas, bel iefs , values, worldviews, and reference points . In this session, break f ree of cultural myths that often keep us f rom l iv ing our ent i re l ives to the ful lest and explore how to make our most meaningful impact and contr ibut ion. Together , session part icipants and panel ists address the incoherence between what we think we were supposed to be, according to cultural condit ioning, and what is real ly t rue for us, in our heart and soul .

Our world is changing so rapidly that many populations have disconnected from the wisdom of indigenous world views. This session asks us to explore the global ecology as it relates and intersects with our own ecology, and consider the wisdom and perspectives that can help us achieve a sustainable and harmonious design of both the individual person and the planet. Hosted by Nexus’ Invest in Yourself team, join Memnosyne Institute co-founder and president Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk and Center for Planetary Culture founder and thought leader Daniel Pinchbeck in a breakout conversation meant to help each of us further understand our global status, and inspire each of us to positively engage in and influence the transformations being called forth by necessity.

In the next 50 years, phi l anthropy and the non-profi t sector wil l become one of the world’s greatest industr ies. While most charit ies and foundations are public, some of the world’s l argest are anonymous. Some operate as for-profi t companies while others serve as offshore trusts. Ikea founder, Ingvar Kamprad, left Sweden, put his ownership of the company in a Dutch foundation and put the intel lectual property r ights in a Lichtenstein enti ty. He is not alone, but what is next? How much wil l phi l anthropy grow? What legal options do phil anthropists and investors have when they want to do good but their countr ies are unstable? How can they invest and donate local ly and overseas without double taxation? When and where are for-profi t or non-profi t legal structures most effective? What about B-Corps, insurance policies, and other alternative f inancial structures? Come and learn about global charity l aw.

Did you know the Houma Tr ibe predicted Hurr icane K atr ina? Did you know the Dogon Tr ibe knew that Si r ius was a binary star before the telescope was invented? Did you know there are hundreds of medicines in the Yucatan which people t ravel the world to receive help f rom? Did you know that the ancient Tolteca and Maya had mathematics that was more accurate than the type we use today which modern archi tects l ike Fernando Romero used to create the Soumaya Museum?

Impacting Investing – the investment approach which intentionally targets measurable social and f inancial returns – has gained traction as a sector that offers innovative solut ions to pressing societal problems. The Social Impact Bond (also known as Pay for Success) movement has grown considerably in recent years with over 15 US jur isdict ions and 10 countr ies active. Yet there are many myths about SIBs (e.g.they are not actual ly bonds),various challenges (e.g. sett ing them up successful ly is an art) and a plethora of untapped opportunit ies (e.g. how can they solve unemployment and education gaps?). This conversation wil l br ing together leading practi t ioners in the Social Impact Bond space to answer the big questions facing the SIB sector, as well as what they might mean for your community’s future.
