Our goals are to provoke conversation among community leaders and members about the issues our community is facing, and enable those conversations to spread as far as possible; to expose attendees to new perspectives and innovative ideas and inspire them to think differently about the many topics discussed; to create a compelling call to action for each person attending and watching the event to make a real commitment to enact positive change in their community.
