The Convening provides Jewish philanthropists and social entrepreneurs and leaders with an annual opportunity to network, learn, and celebrate our work together.
The Convening will include inspiring keynote speakers, participatory breakout sessions, and plenty of time for one-on-one meetings with like-minded and like-hearted change-makers.
The Convening is for progressive funders ready to think about philanthropy differently and innovative implementers ready to be challenged and energized. It will promote advocacy for social entrepreneurship by providing women leaders, inside The Network and beyond, with a place to meet, deepen our collective knowledge, and strengthen our relationships.
The Convening showcases the work of social entrepreneurs from around the world – both those who are members of The Collective and beyond – and provides an opportunity for them to learn with each other.
