Leadership

Young entrepreneurs, professionals, and student organization leaders teamed up to establish a wholly student-organized, international event with the promise of creating new dialogue about the changes in the rapidly developing fields of social entrepreneurship and CSR.

Engagement

The two-part panel and discussion-based summits drew the best and brightest student leaders from the United States, Europe, and China alike, and was for many, the chance of a lifetime to meet and spark new connections for future collaboration and friendships.

Passion

A distinct cross-section of speakers comprised of pioneers and trend-setting representatives for innovative corporations, universities, foundations, government agencies, NGOs, think tanks, and social enterprises throughout China and the United States delivered remarks.
