“I don’t think we need any more breakthrough innovations….It’s the breakthrough interactions we need.” – Cheryl Kiser, Executive Director, the Lewis Institute, Babson Social Innovation Lab.
The RISE Summit by Idobro is a convening of different stakeholders involved in diversity, inclusion and sustainability initiatives. Our effort to catalyse the development space grows with every passing year. The RISE Summit now into its 6th year, has become an active-mapping platform for resources and collaborations across sectoral groups.
Beyond an UnConference, the RISE Summit is unique with a non-hierarchical, interactive format with the objective to promote:
- Cross-sectoral dialogue: Connect, and go beyond knowledge sharing to meaningful engagement
- Capacity building: Conduct workshops to contribute ideas and practices that enhances discovery, outreach, execution and delivery of initiatives
- Collaboration: Design alliances that leverage strengths and resources to create impact.
The RISE Summit features Conclaves, Round Tables, Display Areas, Exhibitions, P2P Meetings, Chat Sessions and Social Tours to facilitate multi-stakeholder exchanges on sustainable solutions. The event format for the RISE Summit is planned for inclusion, relevance and flexibility.
Participants from any sector and stakeholder group are welcome to attend one or more activities as per their interest and convenience. All activities are participatory with no presentations or panels.
Independent experts use open design technology to organically develop and ensure engaging conversations across the spectrum of women, social and green issues. The sessions are co-hosted by partners who seek to further their mandate and showcase initiatives through breakthrough interactions for significant outcomes and long-term projects.
