About the Event

The 2018 Gathering of Leaders gathered over 400 leaders in Boston to celebrate New Profit’s 20 years of venture philanthropy investing in breakthrough leaders and systems change initiatives and to engage in dialogue on three key topics that are critical to the future success of the social impact sector: capitalizing diverse leaders and organizations, advancing system entrepreneurship, and grappling with the disruptive forces changing our economy and world and what they mean for the future and our work.

New Profit’s Gathering of Leaders is one of the nation’s most influential convention of top social innovators and their counterparts in business, government, philanthropy, media, technology, and academia. The two-day event brings together 400+ leaders with path-breaking innovations in education, workforce development, criminal justice reform, health, and related areas to forge connections, spark ideas, align strategies, and shape initiatives that unlock the potential of social innovation and entrepreneurship to expand social mobility in communities across the nation.
