Movement Makers
25 September | 09:00 - 16:30
The Times Center, 242 W 41st St, New York
What sparks a movement that changes the world? Does it require the right moment or the utterly wrong event to light our collective emotional fire? Does it need the passion of a new generation that claims its voice or does it require big-picture leaders at the top to articulate a vision that moves the masses? Is the key ingredient power? Empathy? Collaboration? And what does it take to build and sustain movements once that initial spark has faded? Movement Makers is an opportunity to connect across generations, communities and experiences.
