A unique mix of business and civil society leaders will speak at the event, as part of an agenda crafted for maximum audience participation and dialogue, via a mix of plenary sessions, cafe-style discussions, visioning, and agenda-setting. Speakers include:

    Join these and other global leaders from business, civil society, governance, labor, law and the media for two days focused on envisioning new corporate designs that integrate financial, social, and environmental purposes at their very core.

    This is the culminating event of the four-year process of Corporation 20/20, where over 100 stakeholders from various disciplines came together to explore corporate designs for the 21st century. Share the powerful learnings of this group -- and join the launch of a national conversation on corporate design.
