?? Announcing Transformative Impact Summit Africa - June 7th-9th ?? In a world where impact efforts are often siloed within their respective domains, we're bringing forward a change. After the resounding success of our Climate Week event in NYC, which united hundreds of the world’s most inspiring, impactful, innovative change-makers, social entrepreneurs, and investors we're thrilled to announce the next edition of Transformative Impact Summit. This time we’re setting the stage in the vibrant Zanzibar, Tanzania. With its rich history, cultural tapestry, gorgeous landscapes, and commitment to becoming an innovation and impact hub for Africa, Zanzibar represents the perfect nexus for our global impact community. Why Attend? Break Down Silos: We're spotlighting leaders from the entire impact ecosystem, from ecology and agriculture, to business and technology for good, to financial innovation and regenerative finance. Foster Connections: This is a unique opportunity to connect with leaders across various domains, forge new alliances, and spark collaborations that transcend traditional boundaries. Amplify Impact: For funders and policy-makers, this summit offers an unparalleled chance to connect directly with those leading world-class impact efforts. Themes for Transformation: Economic Transformation: Delving into financial innovation, regenerative finance, and new philanthropy. Ecological Transformation: Exploring sustainable energy, agriculture, and biodiversity. Technological Transformation: Uncovering the potential of storytelling, Web3, AI, and more for good. Social Transformation: Highlighting African solutions, mental health, and education for impactful change.

Transformative Ventures ran its first Family Office, Philanthropists, and Impact Investors event the day before Transformative Impact Summit during NYC Climate Week in September. The response was overwhelmingly positive and the desire for an impact-focused family office community was expressed from both speakers and attendees. But there are amazing communities like Top Tier Impact, NEXUS Global, Katapult, Light Dao, The Global Impact Investing Network, and more, that do an amazing job bringing together top notch families and impact investors who care. They do stellar work making connections, fostering deal flow, and supporting these high calibre families and funders on their journeys - so what can we add that will add meaningfully? We want to invite them to be part of a greater journey, together.? Yes, the world needs us to accelerate the good, and slow the bad - both of which can be accomplished, or at least improved with the right high-impact investment opportunities. But most important, it must be part of a larger plan. It's true that being part of the Global Unity network gives Transformative access to high-return opportunities few others see. This community of more than 800 changemakers, social entrepreneurs, family offices, ecological champions, and technologists expose us to a unique pool of high-impact investments. However, Global Unity offers more than just access to attractive impact investments. It also provides a set of designs and strategies that comprise a larger plan?for creating real impact at scale. We are excited to share that our first virtual gathering will take place Tuesday, December 10th from 12:00-2:00 EST. https://lu.ma/g2ovvmue Please tag any family office members, advisors, philanthropists, and impact investors you know who want to help build a better world for all.

I’m thrilled to share that Global Unity will be hosting the Transformative Impact Summit September 27-29 in New York City! There is so much good being done in the world and yet most of what we hear about is what’s going wrong. Transformative’s Impact Summit brings people from every area of impact together, including big names, unsung heroes, and hidden gem changemakers that are making a difference at scale. People were calling last year’s event “the TED of Impact” and many said that June’s Transformative Impact Summit Africa in Zanzibar was one of the most inspiring events they’ve ever been to. Tickets are on sale - join us for an incredible weekend in New York! Register and apply to speak here: https://lnkd.in/e3zNDusf
