Welcome
The Collective Impact Forum, an initiative of FSG and the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions, is hosting the field’s premier annual Collective Impact Action Summit on April 27-29, 2021. This virtual event will elevate cutting-edge thinking and lessons learned on the role of cross-sector collaboration in contributing to COVID-19 response and rebuilding, advancing racial justice, and addressing other pressing challenges of our time. We invite you to join us as we convene more than 1,000 cross-sector leaders from across the globe to share ideas and use their influence and networks to shape the future of the practice of collective impact.
Highlights:
- Plenary keynotes featuring Rashad Robinson (Color or Change), Nayantara Sen (Race Forward), and Sonya Renee Taylor (Activist, Poet, and author of The Body Is Not an Apology)
- Breakout sessions designed for virtual participant engagement, addressing themes of community engagement, community organizing, data and continuous learning, mental models and narrative change, policy change, and power dynamics
- Virtual networking throughout the event, allowing participants to connect with people sharing common interests, working in similar geographies, or wresting with similar questions
- Recordings of over 25 sessions available for attendees to view after the event
