In just 3 short weeks, thought leaders, practitioners and intrapreneurs from around the world will gather for the 2016 Shared Value Leadership Summit at the Conrad New York on May 10-11, 2016 to discuss how global companies are driving and enabling solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems.

The Shared Value Initiative has gathered some of the best and brightest from all sectors—Dr. Jim Yong Kim - The World Bank, Alan Murray - Fortune Magazine, Helena Foulkes - CVS/pharmacy, Angela Glover Blackwell - Policy Link and David Blood - Generation Investment, just to name a few—for discussions that will highlight the model for collective action in shared value; investor perspectives on long-termism; the business case for sustainability; and the role of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in setting an opportunity agenda for shared value solutions and strategies. 

And if the impressive list of plenary speakers isn't enough to entice you, consider the 10 Shared Value Labs - interactive workshops that feature hands-on problem solving with other practitioners from across sectors and geographies. You'll leave the lab with tangible next steps for changing the world – whether it's an action agenda for the field to-do list for applying the shared value approach to your organization. 

Participants will take part in labs on both the power of the individual corporation and collective action, digging deep over a 2-hour working session. To whet your palate, here's a sampling: 

• Advancing Equity through Shared Value Strategies
• Financing Your Shared Value Initiative: Alternative Sources
• Employee Well-Being: Addressing the Whole System
• Addressing Organizational Barriers to Shared Value: The Business Journey
