Join us for an extraordinary afternoon of storytelling which celebrates social entrepreneurs and impact organizations through filmmaking, intimate conversations and networking with like-minded people.
We will explore how mission driven organizations (both for-profit and not-for-profit) use film and short videos to spread positive messages, drive change, and achieve strategic goals.
You will be inspired by the social impact different these organizations are driving and have the opportunity to meet amazing people taking on some of the world's biggest challenges in innovative ways.
